Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to get an idea where their skills are by having them play something for me that they think demonstrates this well. From there I try to access what Suzuki book I'd like them to start in and I use that method as my primary way of teaching. I'm also into classical pop fusion myself and allow for lots of freedom of expression
