Dr. Paradis has taught students from a wide variety of backgrounds, and with a vast array of personal goals, including:
Overall improvement
Audition preparation
Beginner lessons
Resuming playing after several years away from the instrument
Assessing embouchure issues
A typical lesson will include a warm up, a review of assignments, exercises to reinforce good habits, and a preview of new assignments. There will be ongoing discussion and reflection throughout the lesson.
Dr. Paradis wants all of her students to learn to be their own teacher. Discussion in lessons aim to help students to learn how to listen critically, assess issues, and make a sensible plan for improvement.
