Teaching Philosophy: "My goal is to encourage students to explore the relationships between imagination, movement, and music; ultimately helping them develop healthy technique and musicality. By allowing students to learn in a way that is fun and organic, my hope is that my teaching process fosters creative thinking, efficient learning, and confidence."
