Everybody is different and it's my job to explore all avenues that the student wants to accomplish in their musical experience. I have taken classes and studied Kodaly, Suzuki, and various other psychological approaches to education. Read More

It is my goal to reach who you are as a person so I can better assist you on your path in music. Read More

From that, I am able to adapt my methods for the individual student. Read More
