Teaching requires time and effort but it also needs to be fun, therefore my lessons have both components, while setting up short and long term goals we explore music in fun ways that allows for self expression and we stay focused by having a clear goal for every lesson.

We will use students ideas for songs they are interested in learning as well as some of my own suggestions for repertoire. Read More
