I cannot encourage going to live performances and concerts enough. It can bea concert of any type of music, so longthat itinspires my student to be more passionate about music! I also encourage my students to participate in competitions and recitals, as this opens their world and expands their knowledge about the musical world. I may be the teacher, but I love nothing more than my students talking about their own thoughts, opinions, and ideas with me, be it about playing, concerts, what they want to do with music, etc. Read More

I work with my students in the traditional mentor-pupil model, so you and I would work as a team to develop your playing.

Some students have dreams of going to conservatory, some want to get into a higher band at school, others just want to play beautiful melodies for family and friends. Read More

For a young child to love music, a teacher must introduce it to him or her in a passionate way, without forcing it one the child.

It is not important for a child to play like a professional musician, but to play like the student has put his or her heart into learning the music. Read More

My approach to teaching can be different based on the age and level of the student. In general I like to keep the pressure off my students and above all find ways to make learning fun and enjoyable.

I try and teach my students more than how to play notes on a page and to learn songs, but how to discover and tackle projects themselves that otherwise might seem too big a challenge. Read More
