Each class focuses on one main technique.

I begin by demonstrating the technique using my own instrument.
Then, students repeat the technique, and I provide individualized feedback.
Based on what I observe, I adapt my methods to help each student find the approach that works best for them.
We reinforce learning through repetition, targeted exercises, and musical examples.

🎥 How Will I Teach?

Use of video examples and images to reinforce understanding.
Step-by-step explanations.
Repetition and guided practice.
I will also provide listening recommendations to help develop the student’s musical ear.
