Students will learn everything to help them get started on their journey of playing the music they love the most and getting a nice jump start towards becoming teachers themselves. Read More

My teaching style is just like most I think. I don't rush with the students. Always trying to go slow and make sure the students understands everything.

This is where I think it is fun to be creative because we are all different.
