His goal is to provide structured, thoughtful, and supportive instruction tailored to each student. Lessons focus on the foundations of music. For technique, he emphasizes relaxed posture while developing strong fingers. He believes this is important for preventing injuries and allows the development of musical expression. He also simplifies the music and breaks it down to make it easy to understand. Lessons can be fun, incorporating a variety of exercises and games, with a focus of engaged learning.
