I like to understand a student on a musical level, thus letting their ability level and their drive push me in the direction most useful for the student's success. I encourage them by setting specified goals and show them how to attain them while guiding them through any necessary musical concepts they may meet along the way. I gain from my students' accomplishments a sense of pride, which makes me work just as hard for my students as they do for me. Read More

I also use audio and video examples to help support the learning process. Read More

When the activities are do-able, from the very beginning, students experience success andtheir confidence begins to grow. Read More
