Teaching Philosophy: I have been trained in the Suzuki Method of teaching and I like using the principles that I have learned from that method. Dr. Suzuki said "Every child can learn to play an instrument," I also believe that parental involvement in lessons is key to children succeeding in lessons. I believe that there needs to be structure to the lessons but I also belive that there needs to be some fun to motivate the student to learn.
