My goal is for students to become independent, joyful musicians, who reach the height of their ability. For some students, that may involve performing at a high level - studying at the university level, competing, or working as a professional musician in some other capacity. For others, playing for their own enjoyment and edification is enough. I follow the students' leads, and allow them to learn at their own pace. Read More

I teach strong instrumental fundamentals, along with music theory comprehension, sight-reading, and ear training. I also like to emphasize ensemble playing using instrumental duets.

Fun is a must in one's progression but focus is key to success. I've helped students win concerto and ensemble awards and have also brought adults into the professional-level playing world through lessons. Read More
