I start with the end in mind. Once your student has established clear, realistic goals with me, all the focus is on reaching those goals. It is also made clear that it is the student's responsibility to come into each lesson showing clear evidence that they've practiced the music. I'm stern about this. If the student hasn't put in the time, I will send the student home mid-lesson and they lose that lesson. Read More

It was a challenge as well as very rewarding to have prepared them for the several wonderful performances that they did do that year. Since those early days, I have been afforded many opportunities to make a difference in the lives of young people by sharing my knowledge and experience teaching General Music PreK-Grade 8. Read More
