Throughout my college career, I have learned to teach students rather than babysit students in order to have them achieve their very best.

Effective music education is both developmentally and culturally appropriate: By working with the student to understand their interests, I hope to provide them with an experience that will enrich their musical and social life outside of the work we do together.
