<  My teaching experience includes public school, private schools, homeschool groups, and individual studio instruction. Most recently, I am an undergraduate music instructor.  I love performing but more that that I love to see my students embrace a lifelong love of music.  I employ a variety of hands-on techniques that engage students and use incentives to help them achieve success.
