At the same time, an awareness of and attention to expression, emotion, and interpretation informs the building and practice of technique, giving it context and artistic function. Read More

My teaching experience began when I was a senior in high-school My sister had taught a few students in our neighborhood and asked me to take on her students when she moved away to attend college.

When I was first teaching, I had to learn to slow down the pace, as most students didn't learn as fast as I did growing up. I try to encourage their inner talent and get interested in the music they like, but I also want to advance them into something that will challenge them.
