I use a variety of resources to make each lesson interactive and educational. In most cases, I will choose a method book for you and supplement with other materials like worksheets and games.

For the best virtual learning experience, students will need access to a laptop or tablet to stream lessons, stable internet connection, and of course their practice instrument and books. It is also highly recommended that students have headphones and/or an external microphone for optimal learning environment.

Yes! Topics included in the policy are registration, lesson commitment, tuition structure, and student non-attendance. Students/their parents will review this as part of the onboarding process. Scroll down to see a “quick guide” for MAM policy.

My philosophy for practice revolves around consistency. I teach my students to start with small increments of practice time and gradually increase as lessons continue. All students are expected to practice; however, age is taken into account. All in all, practice is part of the learning process too!

Tuition is calculated based upon scheduled lessons in each calendar year. Then, the cost is divided into the monthly tuition.

My teaching style revolves around education, mentorship, and inspiration. I balance the three according to my student’s goals, learning styles, and personalities.

A Scripture passage that has inspired the creation of MAM is Ephesians 5:19- “speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.”

I specialize in Gospel music and classical music. I tailor the lesson “pathway” according to what your goals are as a student.

Although I ask that lessons be viewed as weekly “appointments,” I totally understand that life happens! Occasionally, student or teacher might have an emergency and can’t make it to lesson. See policies and procedures (below) to get an idea of how this works.

At this time, we do not participate in ABRSM exams. However, giving students a well-rounded approach that includes ear-training, sight-reading, and theory is a key factor of the goal to “educate” during each lesson.
