My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time. I encourage the student to see it , believe it and achieve all goals that can be set out to be accomplished. Practice on a daily basis is very necessary when gaining the passion for the chosen instrument. My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.

As students progress at his/her own pace I try to keep them moving forward with realistic goals and encouragement. One important consideration I keep in mind is choosing the right music for each student according to developing skill levels. If the music is to easy, a student could become bored and unchallenged. Should the music become to difficult too soon, the student may become discouraged. Having said that, I will allow the student to try some "challenging" music, and allow them to progress and work up to a new level of playing. Read More

I especially love to teach those who are beginning because, throughout my teaching, I really emphasize having correct body alignment, posture, and just an overall solid physical foundation, as that really sets up the students for a better and healthier musical career in the long run. However, if a student is farther along in their musical career, there is no need to fear, because I love teaching all levels, and it is just as possible to teach that physical foundation in a student that is farther along as it is to teach someone who has a fresh start.
