Teaching Philosophy: My goal as a music educator is to foster a lifelong passion for music. My role includes mentoring and collaborating with students as they navigate their individual music paths.

I tailor the curriculum and lessons to accommodate each student’s learning style. The student and I are partners on a journey that could and should be lifelong.
