Music Educator/Conductor/Instrumentalist in North NJ with 10+ experience offering instrumental lessons and anything else
Methodology
I teach any and all levels of music. In instrumental lessons, I prefer to start with warm-ups and scales, followed by etudes, and if time permits, sight-reading or further etude work. With all other types of education, a review of the previous lesson then a continuation of new material.
Background
I have been a musician for over 20 years and a music educator for about 12 years. I have been teaching lessons since my days in undergrad and still continue to this day. I have taught many public and private students, with private students joining audition groups.
