Teaching Philosophy: Every student is unique and has their own individual relationship with music and how it's meant to be part of their lives. As a teacher, my job is to nurture that relationship by assesses a student’s needs, creating a game plan for how to achieve their goals, pass on my expertise and knowledge, and encourage them throughout the process. I value music as a form of joy and personal artistic expression as well as classical form and technique.
