My approach largely imitates the ones employed on me when I was first learning, and carries all the way through my college years of private instruction.

Students will be expected to practice and learn scales, arpeggios, and other basic music theory. Read More

I am an enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructor who loves sharing my love of music with students. In 2011 I graduated from Haverford College as a Music Minor and History Major.
