It's my goal to teach in a way that relates to the individual student and their goals. I spend time focusing on at what stage each student is at, in the accomplishment of their goals. Encouragement and patient accomplishment are important aspects of my lessons. I teach the importance of being patient with one's self and keeping focus on goals at hand. I believe we can teach and learn better in a very caring, supportive environment and that each student has the ability to achieve their individual goals! Read More

My teaching style is receptive and warm, but focused. I use goal-setting as a satisfying and organized way to break down musical lessons, which means lessons time is well spent and students have a good understanding of how and what to practice.

Since music learning is highly cumulative, it's important to me that students have a thorough understanding of principles before moving on to new ones. Read More

My goal with all students is that they enjoy learning, become self-motivated to practice, and consider their musical abilities as a gift which they can choose to share with others whenever they feel comfortable to do so. I have experience using a variety of method books and can easily recommend appropriate materials. I also encourage students to share with me and allow me to help them learn their favorite music, as well, even if that involves writing it out with or for them. Read More
