The Granata approach
The goal is not perfection. It is progress you can hear.
Support first. Students learn best when they feel comfortable asking questions and trying new things.
Music that matters. Technique connects to songs, styles, and goals the student genuinely cares about.
Momentum over pressure. Consistent, realistic progress creates stronger musicians and lasting confidence.
