Student teacher relationships are the most important part of teaching in my opinion. I have the skills to teach my students whatever they may want to learn, but in order for the best results, it is important to me that I build a relationship with my students much like a friendship.

My philosophy is that no two students are alike, and each student will take to the material differently so it is very important to adjust your teachings according to each students growth level.

I have taught private lessons at the local Music store "Music Machine" in Kennewick, WA. also In-home lessons, on-line lessons and lessons in my Studio in Richland, WA.
