I believe in recognizing and rewarding their efforts, which builds confidence and motivation. To facilitate this, I often have my students work towards a specific project or song. This approach allows them to see tangible progress and realize how far theyve come as musicians. Using the George L. Stone stick control book as a foundational tool, I promote limb independence and improve technical skills. Read More

I have been teaching since I was 16. I frequently ran sectionals in my high school as well as at multiple youth orchestras. I taught privately on and off throughout high school and college.

If a student has the passion for music, the potential to get better, and the diligence to put in the time and work, the sky is the limit! Read More
