My main goal is to equip my students with the tools necessary to achieve their own personal goals in music. The better the student becomes, in the most efficient manner, the more they will enjoy all music has to offer.

I enjoy teaching students of all skill levels and ages, and I employ different approaches depending on the needs and personal goals for each student.

Sure, you could say I’m a hippie, but that doesn't mean I don’t have expectations. Read More
