I seek to cultivate a life long enjoyment of music. I'm willing to work with students of all ages and levels, regardless of their past music experience. My initial goal is to provide each student with a firm foundation in technique, musical understanding and appreciation. From there, students can freely explore their musical interests and styles.

I cater each lesson's curriculum to the individual student. Before assigning new music, or recommending texts, I assess the student's age, level, background and musical interests or goals.
