I let the student guide me from there. If they want to play jazz, we will learn jazz standards, how to read chord charts, and improvisation.

I have been teaching a total of 5 years. I currently have a studio of students online now and I am looking to expand my experience teaching. I was excited to complete my graduate thesis in December 2021, Music for Creative Learning.

More importantly it uses music as an interconnective force for creative learning and cultural immersion in education. Read More

Teaching for me is the difference between passion and disaster. With the right push, anyone can feel the need to play music. Music isn't supposed to be intended for a chosen few.
