I enjoy teaching best when I focus on what is most interesting and exciting for my students. I strongly encourage daily practicing and will work with you to find your musical identity while maximizing your strengths and building on your weaknesses.
My teaching philosophy is based on the belief that each student deserves encouragement to develop a strong foundation in music. Once the basics are established, each student should be challenged and motivated to widen the breadth of their skills.
