Growing up I’ve had a variety of coaches, one thing I noticed is that I was always lost enameled by the teachers that nurtured my creativity. Many times there are music teachers that only teach what they like and what they know. My students can expect to expand their versatility but as a smaller portion of the overall focus.

I believe music itself is both an expression and a feeling and having the ability to teach this skill set to others is a pleasure to me. Read More
