Teaching Philosophy

Ultimately, my goal as a teacher is to cultivate the joy of music. Music requires dedication and hard work, but it should all flow out of a genuine love for the art itself. I view my job as an opportunity to come alongside students in their own journey of self-expression, providing them with the space to explore and with tools to hone their skills. Because every student is unique, I support each student’s own vision and goals for their musical endeavors. I aspire to draw my students into musical excellence and personal fulfillment.
