In order to do this I do provide a detailed analysis of the progress a student makes every month and areas of interest that students should focus on in the following months. This will include pieces to study and listen to, performers to research, techniques to rehearse, and other key elements. I also make it a point to have an open dialogue with all students regarding mental health. The arts can be draining and ensuring that everyone is on the same page regarding the emotional situation is among one of my top priorities. Read More
