Teaching
Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, having an encouraging and well-trained musical mentor is a must. Such a teacher should hit the right balance between making the student feel confident and adequately challenged. I also feel strongly that there is no cookie-cutter teaching method that works for every student, and I am committed to being sensitive to you or your child’s needs and learning style. In my studio, we can work together to identify your unique musical goals, short-term and long-term, and I will provide comfortable, engaging lessons that will inspire you to reach those goals!
