My approach to teaching music involves conventional methods used in music schools and conservatories which involves learning music theory, and technique. I ALSO incorporate methods to help you learn music without knowledge of reading music or music theory. This includes learning by imitation, learning by ear, and also listening to music and developing the musician's ear which is attuned to hearing phrases and patterns.

​

So, if you have a preference your lesson experience can be tailored to emphasize one approach over the other , or incorporate both approaches. One of the great benefits of learning both ways is that you can start playing your favorite music right away without knowing how to read music.

"The Practice Problem"

Adult learners and children alike - its difficult to develop a habit of music practice. The class includes strategies for adult learners, younger students, AND parents to support their children in developing their practice habits.

​

Don't know which instrument to play? Try all three!

I'm proficient in piano, drums, and guitar and can help you learn any of the three instruments. We can also learn two instruments at the same time. Skills from instrument crossover and help support skills in another.
We can have trial period in which you rotate the three instruments until you decide which two you would like to focus on.

​

​

Don't have an instrument? No problem.
You can borrow an instrument for use in the studio for the first few weeks until you get one of your own. We are happy to give recommendations and guidance for selecting an instrument.
