Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I encourage my students to have notebooks, recorders, and to learn basic accompaniment via keyboard or guitar. This will help them to expand on their practices at home and feel empowered to create music on their own. I like to keep track of my students accomplishments and enjoy encouraging them along their musical journey. Each student comes with their own unique abilities, talents and training and I believe it is my duty to meet my students where they are at and gradually bring them towards where they desire to be and where I also see their greatest potential.

My job as an instructor is to motivate and set place markings to achieve for ultimate success. Read More

These are some of my approaches and I also like to reach on how to play by ear. Read More

I love to emphasize those strengths to encourage them when playing the violin can feel difficult. Read More
