It is my intention that every student leaves their lesson excited to play more and share their music making with anyone who will listen. Read More

After students have passed through the fundamentals, we will work out of the Rubank intermediate or advanced books for technique development. For high school students, we will determine their starting level and goals they want to achieve. For three months to six months, students work on a solo of their choice. Read More
