That is my #1 priority. I emphasize improvisation the most for all my students so they are able to express themselves freely on their instrument!

When I was 16 years old I became band leader in my after school orchestra. It wasn't because I was the most technical player, but because my love and affinity for music allowed me to communicate about it clearly.

Here I have expanded to teach voice, guitar and drums after spending a decade studying while teaching piano. Read More

I make an effort to get to know my students goals and current ability on their instrument so that I can play to their strengths and improve their weaknesses. Read More
