The student's musical experiences shold be both rewarding and fun. My teaching style emphasizes both responsibility and commitment on the part of student and teacher. With that in mind, private instruction should be a positive and enjoyable experience for both! Read More

For students who are just starting out, I start with basic finger and breath support exercises. Once these become ingrained in the student's mind, I will introduce various excerpts based on their skill level, eventually working our way into solo repertoire. For students that have a few years under their belt, I prefer to get a grasp on what their strength and weaknesses are to assess what I can be of service, to select the solo or excerpt book that would best help improve their already developing talents.

For beginners, I recommend Standards of Excellence and if the parent's budget allows, a subscription to Smart Music which can monitor and record daily practice and inform a student of minor errors so growth can happen between lessons. For intermediate or advanced students, I like to establish a well rounded warm-up routine for their practice and move into solo repertoire appropriate for their level. For adults, I like to cater towards their goals and desires. Read More

I love being able to send students on their way for the day knowing that they put their best foot forward. Even if they did not come to a lesson prepared, being able to see growth in the small amount of time I'm with them is enough for me. I understand that every student progresses at their own pace, so I work with them and their parents to make sure that realistic goals are set and written down to hold the student, parent, and myself to this growth plan.

As a teacher, my primary belief is in working together to create the best practice system that is possible for each individual. I feel that the students always do their best whenever they know that the people around them support them and are also working to make sure that they are getting the best education possible, and this includes the parents as well. I have always looked forward to being able to watch my students improve over the years, so I will do my best to remain my student's instructor for as long as possible, and under the pretense that I would relocate, I will also try my best to find them a new teacher.
