Individualized Lesson Plans
& Learning to Grow Independently
There have been countless students who just “gave up” because they spend hours practicing and don’t make any real progress
It can be difficult for students to self evaluate their strengths and weaknesses and not become overwhelmed by by the areas that need to be addressed
Bob will assess the student and create a customized plan that focuses on capitalizing on their strengths as well as addressing weaknesses and problem areas
It is important for students to develop the ability so that they can do this as they work independently outside of lessons
Lessons will not only be focused on what the teacher can identify but what the student can hear and learn from as well… Developing Efficient Practicing is KEY.
