I do my best to tailor my style to each students specific needs and goals. In general, I am a very laidback and patient teacher. My students recieve clear and achievable goals at the end of each of their lessons to work on while they are practicing during the week. This enables students to be able to really see their own progress as the practice. I also believe in music lessons being an enjoyable experience for students so I include students in making the decision for what pieces they would like to learn. Read More

My approach to teaching is gentle and warm while maintaining high standards of excellence for both my instruction as well as my expectations of my students. When we both strive to do our best work each lesson, we have fun and learn new things which leads to more interest and pride on the student's part. There is nothing more exciting in teaching than seeing students progress and be proud of what they have done. Read More

Having said that, I will allow the student to try some "challenging" music, and allow them to progress and work up to a new level of playing. Read More

I feel that it not only helps my students to grow, but for me to grow as well. I love to teach students who are early on in their career, as it is easier to develop better habits and to fix any bad ones that may have formed prior to my teaching them. Read More
