For adult students I seek to find what the students is most interested in (classical, jazz, rock, bass nova, etc.), and then go from there in terms of finding repertoire and creating my own custom lessons plans, centered around the student's goals.

I love to see my students and friends have the courage to use their voice and express themselves. Music is a universal language and a gift that is meant to spread joy, love, and connection.

I find this to be both rewarding and inspiring. Read More
