Approach: I believe that through learning music, students are exposed to the joy of expression, the value of perseverance, and the rewards of collaboration. By providing individual private lessons personalized for each student’s goals, I nurture growth by emphasizing a well-rounded musical understanding in addition to building a quality performance ethic. I introduce musical expression and phrase interpretation at every level of playing. Ear training, theory, and history also play a large part of my musical instruction as students learn that technique always serves musical expression. Ultimately I strive to share the love of all kinds of music with every student in a way that enriches their lives.
