I also push my students in each lesson and require regular practice. If it is evident that a student is not, it will be addressed and alternative ways to motivate the student will be attempted. Born and raised in Annapolis, I took advantage of many programs, competitions and ensembles in the area. As a teacher, I look forward to ushering my students towards these same opportunities to show them how much fun music can be. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with a select list of guided lesson books (depending on skill level and musical interests).

For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More
