My one-on-one teaching is based on in-depth study of advanced techniques and concepts, while making sure the student’s core-knowledge is complete in whatever style they’re focusing on. I want all of my students to have the “chops” to perform on their instrument while obtaining the theory of what it is they’re playing. At the same time, I try never to let the student lose sight of the end result, the music. I’ve had great success preparing students for college programs, as well as instructing established musicians to realize new levels in all aspects of their playing. I feel that as a teacher, I’ve formulated concepts and ideas about my own playing that otherwise would have never have surfaced. In turn, I happily pass these ideas onto my students completing what seems to be an endless circle of shared knowledge.
