I customize each of my lessons to fit the needs of each particular student. I take into account the goals of each student, and this is something we will discuss regularly.

Instruments: Flute Clarinet Recorder Piccolo Music

My methodology is inspired by the Suzuki method, which believes that learning music is similar to how humans learn to speak first, and write later. In the end, music is a type of language. Having said that, I always have a conversation with my students, and/or their parents, to learn what artists they listen to, what their favorite songs are and what goals they want to achieve. As a result, my lessons are catered distinctively to each unique student, but what they all have in common will be a passion for music! Read More
