Saulpaugh's teaching style balances a core technical & theoretical curriculum with a student directed approach. His students are continually asked to define their own practice & performance goals with his guidance. Scales, chords, rhythms, ear training, sight reading, and exposure to a wide range of styles fill out his lessons all while building toward the student's own musical goals.
