Teaching Philosophy: "I believe in developing skill not just in an individual instrument, but in the full musician, which includes excellence and autonomy in rhythm, technique, musicality, theory, artistry, and creativity. Regardless of whether or not the student chooses to pursue music professionally, my ultimate goal is to help my students find joy in music while developing these qualities."
