About
I feel that learning by the book is the best way for any beginner to learn the their instrument faster and to be less confusing.
Without the basic building blocks of grasping any instrument will eventually decrease that desire and drive to want to continue further.
when I first started, I was driven to learn my favorite songs from my favorite artists. So my instructor kept telling me that each lesson was one step closer to being able to play those song with ease and confidence.
Having a good understanding of what that students aspirations are, will inspire me to inspire them to aquire all wonderful knowledge of music they need.
Being able to share my gift with those who are passionate and driven and who want to absorb as much knowledge that they can from my methods.
