I want my students to become their own "master teacher," and not take ten years to do it! Some may be only a step away...a visit to the biography page of my website will give additional insight concerning my teaching.
Whether you are professional and want some feedback or tips, or you're moving into professional playing or, you are an ambitious beginner in need of guidance and a foundation that will take you to the stars...My intention is to provide the tools for realizing the swiftest musical growth and acquisition of technical skills and insight that indeed, will allow you fullest expression.
One student described me as "results oriented." My approach integrates holistic and (non-sectarian) spiritual perspectives and is extremely effective for those who intend virtuoso performance or have strong motivation for personal transformation. Except for musicians whose playing shows no technical weakness or lack of musical resources, I emphasize development of form and technique as a tool of the spirit.
I want all my students to eliminate as many disadvantages as possible, including the inability to play by ear. Music theory, as I teach teach it, is not as dry as I expected when I was a student, and as your playing develops, will see the direct impact of music theory in your musical development and inspiration. Aside from that, the basics are fun, if you're into music.
Regardless of your musical development, I revel in revealing or discovering with my students the most expressive and apt interpretation. As in creation, discernment, and emergence of form from formlessness, the revelation of sublime artistic expression is a function of the artist's state of being. I am adept in assisting discovery or enhancement of your musical presence, a poetic term for an ineffable attribute, at times mistaken as courage.
So! Whatever your musical expertise, age, or background, if you are ready to write a new chapter in the adventure of your life, or aspire to open your eyes to a new experience of yourself through music, I invite you to schedule a free consultation.
