Approach to Teaching:  I believe that music is a true source of joy and human expression that is far beyond entertainment.  I believe it connects people on a very visceral level.  My approach is to be a guide for a student to enter what will hopefully be a lifetime of musical fulfillment.  I use a combination of traditional methods of teaching with theory and reading as well as what I feel are more natural “by ear” methods. I encourage students to find their unique “voice” on their particular instrument.  I try to foster the sweet spot of gaining technique through practice while truly enjoying the fun and creative journey that music should be.
