My method of teaching involves a musically comprehensive approach. Through practice in rhythm, harmony, melody, theory and ear training, my players become well rounded musicians. The goal is to be able to have an intelligent musical conversation with your instrument, and to know how to play whatever you want to play. In my lessons reading sheet music is optional, but not required. I want my students to know that there is more to playing than just what's in the ink. Read More

I do try to maintain a balance of classical music, modern music, and music theory. Read More

I will also work with the student on expanding their own musical horizons and hopefully discover new music together with them Read More
