Beginner - Advanced Level
I like to start all of my lessons by establishing where my students are and where they would like to be. If my student is a total beginner, help them to get set up with their instrument, both with physical technique and the technical aspects of getting their instrument in good playing condition. Once I've learned what my students' goals are, I will put together a plan for achieving those goals based on their interests and current skill level, either through established pedagogy, or by creating a customized lesson plan. All of my lessons focus heavily on music theory, and healthy practice habits. My goal isn't just to teach students how to play their instrument, but to make them well rounded musicians, able to see not just the "How" of the music they are playing, but the "Why". From the very beginning, I also offer virtual recitals to all of my students to give them concrete goals and deadlines to hit, as well as valuable performance experience.
Learning Goals
You will learn to be comfortable with your instrument, and practice healthy, efficient technique

Other Details
Parental Guidance
As students begin to work towards learning pieces of music of their choosing, I include parents in the discussion about what music to learn, so that all parties are aware of any potentially objectionable content in a work that a student may request.
Supply List
After I establish the student's skill level and goals, I will assign various books and materials. I am always open to recommending alternatives based on cost and availability.
Language of Instruction
English
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Sources
I have several pedagogical references that I may pull from or assign depending on the student's instrument, level, and specific goals.

I am a working musician with 15 years of professional experience, and 13 years of experience teaching private lessons, 5 of those being focused on remote learning. I also have experience designing piano and theory curriculum and have contracted with a company that produces piano learning materials.
