When teaching music lessons to students, particularly those who are new to an instrument, Gabe likes to include basic music theory and instrument care along with technique. It is very helpful for students to know how to properly tune their instrument, change strings or heads, and understand what each part of the instrument does and how it affects the tone.
Teaching music lessons in Seattle and being involved in young peoples lives is a passion for Gabe and he loves every minute of it!
