Generally speaking, music is not necessary, but it is essential to have fun learning it!  Regardless of a student's reason for taking lessons, I believe in giving all students an equally high level of opportunity and guidance, and I take responsibility for ensuring they grow as a well-rounded musician.  As long as realistic goals are set, a regular practice routine can be established.  As a teacher, I enjoy seeing students develop a love for learning music.
