My goal is to hear that students dont even realize how much theyre practicing throughout the week because theyre enjoying it so much!

I take time to get to know my students because I love to incorporate their other interests into the lessons to help keep them engaged. As a lifelong learner myself, I always encourage this quality because I believe that allowing yourself to be a beginner at something new all the time really fosters all-around success! Read More

We will typically add one or two songs per week in order to build a solid repertoire. Read More
