I love to see the glow on a student's face when they realize they can actually play their instrument!  My teaching style is one that nurtures, encourages, and is free.  I use every lesson as an opportunity to get to know my student and meet them where they are with music.  Even down to allowing you to choose your own music to learn!  Once again, it depends on the student!  Read More

For advanced and adults, I have a beginner level or an advanced level. I try to find what they are interested in and allow advanced students to make one choice on their own and I may choose something for them to be challenged... Students who are being "coached" for a small amount of time may need to focus on their own repetoire for an audition-- in which case I will need the music send to me via PDF/mp3 for the extended work with the student's choice.
