Lessons consist of technical exercises, songs, etudes, extended performance pieces, ear training, and guided improvisation aimed at forming proper technique, facility in musical discourse, and joy and ease in making music in any situation- whatever your chosen instrument may be. When possible, I prefer to conduct lessons from the piano. This ensures that every lesson is a shared musical experience, and that all techniques and concepts being explored are done so within the context of this shared experience. In this respect, lessons could be considered more like a no-pressure rehearsal/jam where I'm constantly "sneaking in" various concepts, techniques, historical references, and general music topics. This also ensures that both student and teacher are always excited for what's in store for the next lesson.
