More than a decade ago I began giving music lessons in both private and group formats. It was an unexpected "diversion," but a very natural fit!

As someone with diverse training with multiple instruments and styles, I am very determined to teaching my students and having them become the best they can be at their instrument. I am firm, but patient and understand that practicing the right way is more important than practicing frequently. I am able to work as slow or fast as a student needs; it all depends on their comfortable pace. When my students accomplish their goals, whether it be learning a piece, perfecting a new technique, or gaining experience performing live, it will be incredibly rewarding for both of us. Read More

As a music teacher, my goal is to cultivate a warm and welcoming learning environment. I celebrate students' achievements to instill a sense of pride, setting goals based on their abilities and interests. I also encourage ongoing learning beyond our lessons by prompting students to explore music independently. Recognizing each student's preferences is integral to my teaching approach, whether it involves a specific music genre, a favorite artist, or a desire to create their own music. Read More
