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.

We will balance technical rigor with a deep respect for strangeness. Though the lessons will be moulded entirely to your goals, abilities, and stylistic preferences, every curriculum will rely heavily on ear training and listening skills. Read More

Generally, I sit down with the student and we set a goal. From there I can break down this goal into little Milestones and from there, the material for each lesson springs forth.
