I take a very detailed and analytical approach to music performance, and this is reflected in my teaching. I believe many students look at a piece of music that seems too difficult and become too overwhelmed to realize that's it's not as difficult as it may first appear.

My teaching style is very regimented in the direction goal-setting and interests. Realistically setting goals is important for students of all abilities.
