My Approach
Creation First. Technique With a Reason.
I do not start beginners with months of abstract drills before they get to make anything. Whether the lesson is piano, guitar, bass, songwriting, or production, we start with a musical idea you can hear quickly.
Then we attach technique, theory, ear training, rhythm, and practice habits to that idea. Fundamentals still matter. They just work better when the student understands what they are for.
I have taught everyone from five-year-olds to adults returning to music after decades away. The common thread is simple: once a student hears themselves creating real music, or playing songs they already know and love, practice has a reason.
