May 13, 2013
Here’s a comment I receive every once in a while from a student, when I contact him/her again to set up the next lesson the following week: I'm struggling with my chords right now, and don't want to waste a lesson until I master my C, F and G chords a little! I typically rep...

4. Going For Cheaper Music Lessons Costs You Dearly
May 08, 2013

9. The Footsteps Metronome: Counting while Walking
March 19, 2013
One of the things many music students find challenging, is the ability to evenly perform rhythms combining odd and even subdivisions.

March 12, 2013
