Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a lifelong passion for music! Therefore, its important that each student progresses an his or her pace.

Then as now, an increase in my understanding of music theory equates directly to a practical application on multiple instruments.

I would describe my methodology as strength-based but rooted in patience and enjoyment.
