I began teaching when I was in high school at 17 years old. My private teacher was abroad for the summer, so she gave me her younger students to teach while she was away. Since then, I have taught students of all ages between four years old and varying adult ages. My main goal in teaching is to inspire a passion and love for music. I tailor the lesson and teaching method to the student and their personal goals. Read More

By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
