For beginner students, I will typically introduce them to new concepts and pieces of music to see what interests them. I will typically play alongside them often to help them develop an ear for correct intonation and technique. Read More

Since then I have been employed at over 4 different studios, and I still teach privately. It is my main source of income and my life's passion.
