When teaching I like to use the students goals and tastes as a foundation to build a deeper understanding of their instrument (and music in general). I believe the best practice routine is the one that you can maintain and the most important thing for increased proficiency is to play regularly. Centering the things people love about music can help foster inspiration and curiosity. As a lover of music I enjoy learning about harmony and the intersection of music and technology.
