I began teaching private music lessons during my college days. I was taking music education classes along with my performance degrees and the combination of the classes made me feel like i could teach lessons in a new and innovative way.

I feel very confident that students will feel a complete understanding of the pieces they work on, because of the emphasis we put on theory. Read More

By setting routines together Im sure we could come to an agreement on how we could both help each other achieve our goals and succeed. Read More

There are so many cliches regarding teaching style.

These activities build self-confidence, help students to develop a sense of accomplishment and measure their progress. Read More
