"By focusing on what each student wishes to accomplish, I can personalize my lessons to help reach these goals in a relatively short period of time. My lessons often encompass music theory, ear-training, proper technique, and sight-reading, however some students may wish to concentrate on one aspect of music without going into others. For example if you would like to learn how to play by ear and aren’t interested in reading music I can tailor your lessons to help you learn what you want to learn."
