For all students I believe in technique.  For vocal students I start with working on how to have a free flowing sound and work on the natural sounds that can be created by each individual students.  Many people "create" their sounds, trying to mimic someone they have heard in the past.  I can help foster the best sound for you and apply it to repertoire that is appropriate and that you enjoy!!  As far as saxophone and piano, I begin at the beginning.

I believe three elements of teaching make an outstanding teacher: reflecting on practice, fostering meaningful and positive relationships, and emphasizing student engagement. Teaching is a challenging and often relentless profession. Therefore, it is imperative that teachers reflect upon their practice to build on what works in the classroom and also to modify what needs improvement. Nurturing personal and meaningful relationships is also key. When students and their parents believe that a teacher is invested in a child's learning and future, we find growth. Read More

I have been teaching for two years, and I truly enjoy it.  I was fortunate enough to coach middle school violinists last summer, and I was able to help them individually, as well as help them perform together.  Teaching, for me, is a way of shaping the next generation of musicians or music enthusiasts.  I can teach students of any ability level, and it is always a joy to work with and get to know a new student.

This will also allow me to monitor their progression to make adjustments as needed. Read More
