At this point, I will start distributing solo repertoire/literature and duets. I always encourage my students to perform for one another and to their friends and family. Not every student learns the same way. Read More

I get a thrill when I can see one of my student's develop a passion for music. It is fulfilling to see them understand the fundamentals of jazz and to know where the music comes from. I like to give a brief history of the style and song to develop an emotional connection with the music being played. This allows the student to put feeling into the song rather than playing notes on a page. Read More
