For a young child to love music, a teacher must introduce it to him or her in a passionate way, without forcing it one the child. The struggling student is just as capable of loving music, just as much as the accomplished one.

My teaching includes all aspects of music; Musical theory, sight singing, as well as Music History.

I usually use either the Alfred or Rubank method books to supplement a curriculum that I tailor make for each individual student. Read More

I may differ slightly from other teachers in that when it comes to outside practice requirements, as I will teach to he amount of effort the student shows me. Read More
