My teaching style feels relaxed but I work hard to keep students in their least restrictive environment. We dont want the student to be too challenged or bored.

I began teaching for Pendragon's Music in 1990, and since had taught for 22 years at a couple of the local music stores.

I believe in cultivating music at a high level from the very start emphasizing that one must listen in order to play. I encourage activities that foster focus and attention to detail.
