Teaching Philosophy: Our focus in lessons is to develop the tools necessary to play with musicality and purpose in all things. This is the first question - what skills do we need to develop on our instrument in order to be able to fully realize our musical potential? Lesson focus covers developing embouchure strength and flexibility, physical technique, phrasing/breath support control, and producing a fundamentally characteristic tone at all times.
