My philosophy is defined by the need for the student to be actively engaged in what they are doing. This means that I keep things moving during lessons. Within a broader structure, the student chooses what they want to work on. For all ages, I work to create a safe environment by actively encouraging mistakes. At all times, students must feel safe enough to fail. In many instances, a student's "mistake" would actually be correct in another situation. Read More
