Eugene Theriault
My teaching philosophy focuses on fostering good practice techniques. While a great deal can be taught in a private setting, the real process of learning to make music requires structured independent work. To this end I focus on a strong foundation of skills and techniques and how to use said technique for musical expression. I enjoy working with students of any age and level.
The first lesson is free, so that the student may decide whether they feel that they can work well with me.
