Overview:
I am an experienced teacher, with many years of experience teaching young children of all ages and abilities. I also have a lot of experience working with adults, mostly beginnners. I have performed with several orchestras throughout my career, as well as in many piano recitals. I consider French Horn my primary performing instrument, and piano my secondary. I am very passionate about teaching, and I love watching my students learn to love it as well.
EXPERIENCE
I have been teaching music since I was in high school. Through the years, I have taken "time off" from teaching for various reasons, but it's always something I find myself drawn back to. I have taugh many skill levels, and find every level to be challenging and inspriring, regardless of age. While I understand that music should be fun, I believe that it becomes more fun the more you learn. The harder you work, the more you can accomplish, and thus - more fun!
METHODS USED
I am a fairly tough teacher: I expect my students to practice, regardless of their ability level. I believe firmly in scales, etudes and technique! I love watching my students figure out how these abstract skills translate into learning music! I use a few different method books for children, depending on their learning styles. For adults, I tailor my techniques to their interests and abilities, making it more interesting.
LESSON STYLE
I love sharing my love of music, and the power it has, to my students. I love that music can open whole new worlds to them; I love to share the history of the music they are learning. The influences behind a piece of music, what it sounds like - these are keys to learning history, science, and more about human nature. I feel that knowledge of music leads to knowledge of the world.
