Teaching Philosophy

​

I believe that everyone inherently loves music and I strive to motivate and inspire my students through their love of music.  My teaching methods emphasize technique, theory, sight-reading, and performance pieces.  Although I am a classically trained musician, I have an extensive music library that contains music of all styles including:  classical, jazz, pop, and lyrical - something for everyone!​
