My approach to teaching is to try and understand each students level of musicianship and evaluate their weaknesses and strengths.

I encourage each student to explore the style or genre of music that is most appealing to them. As well as experiment and persevere through new challenges of unfamiliar works or styles, such as classical, jazz, African and Latin/Cuban. Read More
