Lesson Details

During each lesson, we will focus on the skills needed to increase your level of play through different drills and exercises. The 2nd half of the lesson is always focused on using the newly learned skills and applying them to the current piece of music you are working on. I prefer to have the student choose the music they are interested in, so that it is something you will be excited about practicing during the week. However, I am more than happy to suggest a piece of music, if you ... choose.

Also, we will focus on your goals~ specifically looking at what you want to know, learn, create or perform and then tailor your lessons to help you achieve them step by step.
