As a teacher, my goal is to equip students with the tools they need to succeed at their personal goals, encourage students to become dedicated thinkers and learners, and also to foster a loving relationship with music and social consciousness.

Nothing is quite as rewarding as seeing a student develop a real passion for music! Because of that, I think it's important for each student to progress at their own pace.

With every student I seek to assess their individual waxing or waning interest in the material and adjust accordingly. Read More
