I want students to walk away from lessons inspired and excited, and never defeated. I expect a lot from my students and ask a lot of them, but this is because I believe that students are only truly happy when they can see their progress. When a student is encouraged to get out of their comfort zone, and when they experience their own musicality to its highest potential, I believe that a student will be motivated to continue learning and excelling.

Practice makes permanent. It doesn't always make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect, and therefore I encourage students to always make consistent time to practice and perfect their craft. Consistent practice with good technique and attention to detail is better than hours and hours of lazy, uninspired practice. Therefore, I try to set new challenges each week that are fresh and exciting which encourage active, perfect practice. I want to make sure students are eager to learn, so I employ teaching techniques that make learning fun. Read More

By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
