My teaching style is geared mainly towards going over fundamentals while finding the students interest in music.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for the fine arts! Therefore, it’s important that each student progresses at his or her own pace, I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson.
