FAQs

How often should I take lessons?
I believe beginners should be taking lessons once per week for thirty minutes to ensure proper muscle development and habits are being built. Intermediate/Advanced students should be taking lessons every one to two weeks for one hour. The key here is a consistent schedule will lead to consistent improvement.

Where do you teach lessons?
I currently teach lessons out of my house in Anthem, Arizona. In my studio I have recording capabilities to send resources home as well as record for honor band auditions.

What do we work on in lessons?
First and foremost is fundamentals. We will make sure that you develop an effective embouchure, clear technical abilities, and flexibility on the instrument. In addition we will work on reading comprehension so that you can read at an age appropriate level. Finally, if there are auditions or band music that you have coming up, we can work on those in our lessons.

Will I have “homework”?
Each week you will have some things that I ask you to focus on. You can look at it as “homework” or you can look at it as a faster way to improve. When you start lessons it may be fundamental focused. As you get older, you may have weekly exercises or etudes to work on. How much effort you put into your practice will determine how quickly you grow!
