I am interested in students who are serious and are wiling to put in work and practice. I can work with you to find out where you want to be musically. I can work with beginners to help them decide what they want to do. I can also work with more advanced students to further their playing abilities and become working musicians. There is more to becoming a working musician than just playing an instrument and I am willing to share that information with the motivated student. Read More

My favorite part of teaching was getting students excited and motivated to practice their instrument by exposing them to new pieces that they truly desire to learn. Also, when students were frustrated I loved to find different solutions to difficulties they had, as this would give them a fresh approach and allow them to improve at a faster pace. I have enjoyed teaching students of all ages and would welcome anyone who is motivated into my studio! Read More

Balancing the radically different musical backgrounds of each student was difficult at first, but I have realized that the core struggles are universal.

Furthermore, it is crucial to not overcomplicate musical concepts. Too many teachers try to confuse their students with the objective of feeling powerful and intelligent. This usually just drives students away. Read More

Learning music (and the necessary skills to facilitate that music) that each individual student is passionate has been the focus of my teaching style. I love helping students play music they never though they'd be able to play, find other styles they love, and even compose new music. Broadening musical horizons and discovering new music seems to be the best motivator for students continue to hone their craft to be the best it can be. Read More
