Lessons
You're one step closer.
Taking private lessons is a commitment to yourself, and to improving on your instrument.
My Teaching Style

My approach to teaching is a holistic one; with each of my students, I work on things like:
-
Practice strategies
-
Improving tone
-
Arm and hand health
-
How to tackle new repertoire
-
Music theory
-
Playing with musicality
My lesson environment encourages my students to be curious and understand the 'why' behind new concepts.
Why Take Lessons?

Private lessons are tailored to the individual student, allowing us to make significantly more progress than what is possible in a band rehearsal or group class.
For students who are preparing for auditions, it is especially important to get individualized feedback during the preparation process.
The skills learned from individual practice apply to many other areas in life: patience, adaptability, strategy, and enthusiasm are cornerstones for developing musicians.
