My priority as a teacher is to foster creativity, joy, musicality, versatility, originality, and collaboration skills - to help you express and develop your own musical identity through your instrument.

During the pandemic, I added teaching virtually to my repertoire and have fallen in love with it. Personally, I started playing music because I loved exploring and learning more about the music I I was already listening to--and I desperately wanted to learn how I could create my own sounds.
