Teaching Philosophy: "Music is important because it improves a person's emotions and their outlook on life. Music education is important, not only because it teaches creativity, performing, responding and connecting with others, but also because it simply makes life easier and more gratifying. When I teach music, I meet the students where they are and adapt their teaching skills to teach the most effectively. It is very important to me to teach the musical elements. Melody, harmony and rhythm are the three most essential elements of music and it is important to know the difference between them."
