My lessons are structured with attention paid to the fundamentals of each instrument and the fundamentals of music. I have learned that when a student practices a mistake over and over it remains a mistake.

When the student can successfully play a passage correctly then the work turns into fun music making. Read More

The most rewarding thing is watching a student achieve their goals. Therefore I tend to help them set realistic goals for each lesson and allow them to progress at his/her own pace, all while having fun doing so. I acknowledge achievements and tailor my teaching to their needs, because I realize not one person is the same so neither is my teaching. Read More
