Since 2005, I have worked with students from ages 4 to 70, from total beginners to professional pianists and bassists. Whether you are trying music for the first time, returning after a break, or if you are already a performer but want to expand your knowledge and skill set, you deserve a teacher who can comprehend your goals and craft lessons to achieve them. Lessons are typically 1 hour, though many beginning learners (age 10 and below) will start with 30-45 minute lessons. When working with young learners, I’ve found it is most effective to break the lesson into short sections, shifting from focused technical practice to fun ear training and listening exercises. Learning basic musical skills through songs that students already know (from Disney, for example) is also a great way to cultivate an enjoyable but also very effective music lesson. For adult learners, lessons often focus on specific styles (jazz, country, reggae, you name it) with an emphasis on understanding music theory. Your goals are in focus throughout: feel free to bring a song you’d like to learn or a song you are writing.
