I encourage the student to feel free and not to be afraid of mistakes, as mistakes will teach the student what sounds and feels like a mistake. Having the opportunity to play with someone without judgement is something every beginning student needs. When a child is learning to speak, we don't chastise them for poor sentence formation. I take this sam approach to music. I am all about the student feeling comfortable and secure in their playing. Read More

I am very easy teacher to learn from. I understand that every student is different, and learns at his or her own pace.

In this way my students are able to engage in music and have fun while they are learning. Read More
