My teaching style is a balance of a casual and relaxed attitude, and an environment that nonetheless encourages excellence and achievement to the highest level possible. I like to establish a friendly and fun atmosphere where the student feels at ease, but always help my students set goals, and hold them to standards of excellence. I also recognize and value that importance of a student enjoying lessons, and that may sometimes mean that s/he wishes to learn and play music not covered by the books and materials we use for lessons; thus, I encourage students to share with me any such music they want to work on, and we then incorporate it into our lessons.

As a composer and multi-instrumentalist, I have put myself in a position that brings me across an extremely wide and dense variety of music that I've been only too happy to explore. In addition to my long-running classical training with piano, clarinet and composition, I've explored jazz, world, rock, fusion, electronic and avant-garde music through the acquisition of my composition degree and through extensive research and self-teaching with saxophone and guitar.

I tend to customize a course of method books, etudes, and solo rep for each individial student. I focus on material that will be benificial in ading th estudent in reaching their goals. As a result the student has a mixed bag of things that he or she is working on at any time, resulting in a fun experience that keeps both of us from becoming bogged down with endless etudes or techinical work.

Instruments: Cello

I personally feel that anyone can learn how to play and develop an understanding and love of music. The key to it is finding that spark, or that thing that serves as the roots from which your musical knowledge grows. It can be a single piece, and genre of music, or even a rock band. I like to try finding what clicks with a student, and work that into as many lessons as possible. Read More
