For adults, I engage the students interest in music and find repertoire and exercises that reflect their goals and desires. I custom-tailor methods for each of my students to keep them dynamically engaged and excited to practice. Read More

In general, my goal with all my students is to help them develop a deep personal relationship with music. Read More
