I would perform shows and people would ask for lessons after the gig, networking is a big part of the professional side of playing music I encourage listening to all styles of music. Read More

I plan performance opportunities for the students every couple of months. I emphasize that music is another language we can communicate with.

When our intentions are focused on communicating something valuable to the listener the musician playing begins to flow from the heart. Read More
