I like a light, fun atmosphere during lessons, one that reflects the learning style and personality of each student. There are some not-so-fun things about learning music (practice schedules and repetition) but there are plenty of resources out there to help students stay interested and motivated. I like to reward accomplishments (stickers are always awesome) and offer opportunities for improvement. I work for a positive and balanced experience for every student. Read More

I feel part of my job is to help individuals find their voice in whatever instrument they're playing. Read More

We also spend time practicing musicianship skills, which means time spent on ear-training and learning to read music. Read More
