I like to collaborate with the studentto learn what songs theydesire to know how to playandacknowlede their achievement when they can play thesongthat they worked so hard to learn.

In addition to working with Musika, I also act as a classroom aide for after-school music programs for several schools in the DC Metro Area. I am often not the only teacher in the classroom, which means that I can give each student the attention that they deserve.
