I want my students to enjoy their music lessons, I don't want it to feel like a chore. It can be really fulfilling when I see a student playing or singing something with joy!

This helps me balance the lesson by breaking things up and putting them in an appropriate order so the student will stay engaged. Read More

I believe that you must learn something and then apply it to a real song for that concept to stick and more importantly so you understand how music works.

My teaching style combines different elements. I try to keep it fresh and work on music that the student enjoys.
