Classical Piano with Zack Z.

I believe that teaching music has to be fun. Trying to force music theory or notated music on a student when they are not ready can be detrimental to their learning process. Students can become very uninterested with music if they aren’t getting what they want out of the lessons. I cater to the students wants, while still delivering to them what they need. Improvisation and groove is something that is both fun and educational, a great tool to keep students interested. Working in theory, is something that comes second, when the student becomes interested in the reason why things are how they are. I do believe, however, that a structured lesson path leads to better results, incorporating a little bit of everything to see how the students react.
