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.

For beginners, I start by focusing on developing a good sound and ensuring that the student knows what a good sound is and what it is not.

My teaching style is very regimented in the direction goal-setting and interests. Realistically setting goals is important for students of all abilities.

If they don't have anything in mind I have a large library of music to share to help them find something they will like. Read More
