For beginning students I believe it's important for them to begin playing the first day.

For students with experience I like to have them play or sing something they know and I evaluate that and I will work with them on that song and build their technique. Read More

In my years of teaching, I have had the privilege of working with students of all ages - preschool through adult - and I enjoy the challenge of tailoring lessons to meet students where they are.

This gives us tangible goals and milestones that help students feel more fulfilled and successful when we get there. For the other half of my philosophy, a culturally response/sustaining approach generally means that I encourage students to choose music that means something to them; whether its music in a language they know, music from their culture or a culture they want to learn more about. This kind of approach helps to refine a student's musicianship by utilizing the connection they already have to the music. Read More
