In one-on-one lessons, my teaching style for brass, woodwinds, composition, and arranging is personalized and focused on the individual’s specific goals and strengths. For brass and woodwinds, I start by assessing the student’s technical abilities, addressing foundational skills like tone production, breath control, articulation, and embouchure. From there, I tailor exercises to their instrument and level, helping them refine their technique and expand their range.
In composition and arranging, I focus on helping each student develop their unique. I guide them through understanding each instrument’s range, timbre, and idiomatic techniques, and I challenge them with small composing tasks that progressively increase in complexity. We study relevant works, analyze orchestration, and apply lessons directly to their own compositions, fostering creativity alongside technical skill. I also promote the use of technology, such as notation software and DAWs, to help students simulate their ideas and refine their arrangements.
Lessons are interactive, with plenty of discussion and feedback. I also encourage students to use music notation software to experiment with their ideas. Whether working on solo pieces, arrangements, or compositions, I offer guidance that helps the student build both their technical proficiency and their artistic expression. The goal is to create a supportive, focused environment where the student can thrive and grow at their own pace.
