JIM'S PHILOSOPHY

Picture

I USE POPULAR STYLE OF MUSIC TO TEACH THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF MUSIC.


​I choose Pop, Rock, Blues, Jazz, Broadway, Standards, Folk Songs and Spirituals whenever possible in my selection of repertoire for students. 


I TEACH STUDENTS TO READ FROM TRADITIONAL AND NON-TRADITIONAL FORMATS.


  • ​Reading from traditional music staff notation
  • Interpreting from lead sheets, lyric charts, and other "non-traditional" formats
  • Converting "too hard" arrangements to a format that matches their skills
  • Playing from arrangements I create and publish

I SEEK TO CONTINUALLY LEARN NEW IDEAS AND CONCEPTS.

 
  • Membership & involvement in professional organizations keeps me up-to-date with research and teaching approaches. 
  • Attending workshops and conventions helps me expand my teaching skills.
