Seeing my students succeed and have fun playing music is the most rewarding thing for me! Therefore, it's important that each student finds something they want to play and think they can play.

As a musician myself, I enjoy the cooperative element of music so I readily have an instrument around that I can play along with the student to help further innate musicianship for all skill levels of instrumentalists.
