I beleive whole-heartedly in the idea that all students learn music in different and unique ways for different and unique reasons. Thus, my teaching style is defined by a student-centric approach, catering to the individual needs and passions of each individual. Additionally, though discipline is required for the practice of any artform, the lesson environment should always be wlecoming, inclusive, and enjoyable. I encourage all of my students to discover music in a way that grants them fulfillment along with the skills and knowledge they will need to succeed as a life-long musician. With a little hardwork, an open mind, and a caring teacher, anyone can experience the true joy of music-making. Let's experience it together!
