Learn the Basics in Relaxed Environment

I keep a relaxed environment to help students remain calm and able to focus on the task at hand. Being able to enjoy learning is crucial to helping skills come more easily. Students will play songs they have been practicing, learn new songs, and do a theory or technique activity, often as a game. Student work their way through method books and are encouraged to bring in music they want to learn.

I loved my first lesson!! As a beginner I was a little nervous walking in but Julie made me comfortable and didn't overwhelm me with too much. I actually learned more than I expected and can't wait for my second lesson!!!
