LESSONS

What we do together

We are all here to develop as musicians. But we also want to become well-rounded musicians. In my studio, we thoroughly explore the basics:

  • Producing a good tone
  • Playing with healthy technique
  • Performing notes and rhythms with accuracy
  • Reading music notation fluently
  • Playing expressively

And we get curious about experimenting with new ideas:

  • Improvising
  • Composing
  • Learning through games
  • Learning by rote (patterns)
  • Ear training
  • Studying music theory
  • Playing music of various genres

Together, we build a solid foundation so that in the long-run students can:

  • Have a means of self-expression
  • Become curious independent learners
  • Be mentally and creatively engaged
  • Improve focus and problem-solving
  • Feel empowered that they can accomplish any goal they set their mind to
  • Experience the joy of making music!

We cover a lot of territory, but I still like to keep things light and fun. πŸ™‚

The goal of each lesson is for students to leave feeling confident and excited about music, with a giant smile to boot!
