Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Typically, our instructors will always ask a new student about their background in music, if any, and what their goals are for their journey. Our instructors really take time to get to know our students. We ask them for musical inspirations to understand what type of music they identify with and play. If they have previous experience, they will then assess their current playing/performance level and begin to pull resources that would benefit them the most in their lessons. It's at this point that the instructor would ease them into the routine of lesson fundamentals will look like, strategies to achieve our goals and to practice our curriculum.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
My biggest advice is to make sure you are working with someone who respects your goals, understands how to communicate technique and theory in more than one way, and gives you a hands on approach to cirriculum.
