Instilling passion, determination, and drive in my students encapsulates my teaching style. I have been a competitive musician, performer, and teacher for years. I understand the blood, sweat, and tears that go into becoming a quality musician. I want to be an uplifter and cheerleader for all my students. On the other hand, I do not have the capacity to teach those who do not want to be taught. I will not accept students that do not have the desire to play their instruments. Read More

I was brought up classically trained on the Suzuki books but I am completely flexible. If you have or have heard of a set of books you like we can use that too. If you don't know how to read music we can focus part of the lesson on music theory and the rest on learning from recordings and playing by ear. Each genre has their own set of rules and depending on how strict those rules are I will be equally strict accordingly. Read More
