Do you want to play your favorite songs with ease?
Do you want to make new favorite songs to share with others?
Do you want to freely improvise with confidence?
Are you interested in working with a teacher who will decide goals with you, rather than for you?
In my lessons, I focus on training these aspects: • Literacy (fluency in being able to read music) • Skill-Building Mindset and Tools (what is talent? what does it really take to learn new things?) • Music Theory (how to recognize patterns in music, so you can learn music faster and appreciate it more. Also what the common language is between musicians, so you can easily collaborate with other players) • Ear-Training (how to know what someone is playing without seeing their fingers) • Technique (how to avoid injury, physical limitation, and increase endurance and speed) • Music Appreciation (exposing you to a wide spectrum of professional musicians, throughout history and ones out in the world today) • Improvisation and composition (optional, though useful for understanding music as a whole, and creatively practicing material is a way to greatly deepen what you know) I offer online lessons through zoom and in-person lessons when I am settled down in a location. Current location: SF, CA. Check back to see where I am in the world if you want in-person lessons! Join me online to start anytime.
