I began teaching voice and piano lessons in grad school and have been teaching for the past 5 years.

The most important part of a music instructors' job is to instill the principle that music is FUN! I hate when I hear people say that they studied piano when they were young, but their instructor made them hate it, for one reason or another.

I feel that music study can be a great way to impart good habits of setting goals, and building and developing yourself to be something greater. Read More
