Teaching Philosophy: “Teaching is about creating the potential for growth. As teachers we are the tools for our students to use to develop the right way. It is an art form that has many layers from understanding each other to knowing what works and does not. My goal is to teach my students much more than just notes, I want them to become articulate musicians while developing as a person and learning to succeed in their journeys through anything. I like to give my students challenges and opportunities for small successes to build confidence. I make sure they are well versed in what we are working on and I am ok with being lenient with what music we play and how much we do. But we set realistic goals and expectations. In the end whether we are slowly getting through material or flying through it, we will be making progress.”
