Whether the student is interested in playing chamber music with friends, participating in a community orchestra, or just improving their skills so that they can experience the joy of making music, I am happy to tailor the lessons to meet their needs, Read More

The dynamics of the class we make between the student and me. Of course, I lead the class, but the questions are very important. Read More
