I began teaching private lessons during high school to children in my neighborhood, and found it to be so rewarding. I worked with one student in particular who made me realize my passion for teaching. My lessons helped her progress in both musical and extramusical ways that meant so much to her and her family. Soon after this experience, I began studying aspects of music therapy and instructing yoga, which added a holistic element to my style of teaching. Read More
