Acknowledging and celebrating a student's accomplishments is a crucial aspect of my teaching philosophy. Whether it's mastering a challenging piece, understanding a complex musical concept, or simply showing dedication and improvement, every achievement deserves recognition.

Nothing is forced, compliance is always granted and earned, determined work ethic is displayed throughout. Read More
