Teaching Philosophy: With over 30 years of teaching experience in the public schools in grades 4-12 I have been fortunate to have been with instrumental music education. I know quite well the rewards and enrichment that can be gained in the study and performance of an instrument and I teach my students with this thought in mind and help them to achieve their goals in their musical studies.
