Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Music is fun and joyful, and there's no reason why lessons cannot be the same!
My students love to play games that reinforce all that we are learning. I encourage questions from the student, and I am continually trying to learn how the student learns, so I can use the best method of teaching for that person individually. My goals for all my students are to master music and come to know the joy that making music brings!

Meet the teacher in person so you can see if it will be a good fit for you. You'll also have a chance to see the studio and its location.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Think about what questions you may have concerning policies, practice requirements, instrument requirements, methods, fun, and "off-the-bench" activities during lessons.
