I help each student, beginner and advanced alike, to develop a personal, critical approach toward music as a vehicle for creative communication, while simultaneously developing a relaxed and reliable playing technique. By nurturing each student's love for music as a necessary human act, I hope to fully equip them to contribute their unique voice and to make music a cherished part of their future lives, at whatever levels they choose to invest themselves."
