🍏 How I Will Teach:
I will teach according to your unique needs and musical goals! During the first lesson, I will spend some time learning about your  background, prior musical experience (if applicable) and determining your overall goals for lessons. After our initial lesson, I will structure our subsequent lessons to prioritize your goals and needs. Everyone is a little bit different. Some learners want to grow quickly and seek a rigid and structured approach while others are focused on keeping things laid back, easy and fun! Wherever you fall on the spectrum is fine, but I will typically spend some time getting to know you in order to determine how to serve you best!
