My approach to teaching encapsulates a nonjudmental attitude and a clear succinct way into the gateway of information that one approaches as they progress along the path of musical learning. I value kindness, appreciation for one’s craft and effort. The key for me in all life is balance. I approach music from not just a physical standpoint applying various aspects of quantum and classical physics but also from a basic compassionate stance of what it means to be a human being living a fundamentally good human life.

I am new as a teacher, but am up for the challenge and opportunity to work with and inspire students to find their own self-expression as well as learn practical skills to help them reach their musical goals. Consistent practice is a key point, but more importantly pairing technical skills with music a student enjoys playing helps ensure a desire to keep learning and progressing. I'm looking to help students of all ages learn how to engage with and express their creative selves in a way that motivates each person to explore their instrument further. Read More

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

In music I emphasize importance of looking beyond the notes on the page. I believe that understanding harmony, structure, historical context, and musical intent of the composer, is as important as the physical training. To apply imagination within the narrative structure of music, and understand how to communicate through one’s stage presence to an audience is so important for growing artists of all ages. I talk to my students about their repertoire giving them context, a horizontal understanding of style and interpretation, and relating composer’s life stories. Read More
