I like to work based on what each student needs. I encourage the student to take his or her own interests into account on a regular basis.

By tailoring my lesson to the student's abilities and preferences, students learn to develop their own musical direction and appreciation. Read More

Once they have started to make some progress, I take a unique approach by asking them of their own opinion for where they would want to see themselves go. I do this to not only make it as exciting as possible for the student, but to help them achieve a vision they already have for themselves. Read More
