I love teaching. One-on-one instruction is ideal to me – it allows me to learn the goals and needs of each of my students and tailor my lessons to them without compromise. I've taught students of all ages and take pride in my ability to meet everyone at their level while giving them the tools and training they need to improve. I strongly believe in serving the music: finding one's place in any setting and contributing something that enriches the music in the indescribable way we seek and appreciate as artists. My pedagogy emphasizes relaxed and efficient technique, musical awareness and sensitivity, and a fertile imagination, all essential tools in this sacred pursuit. Whether you're a beginner in need of direction, a seasoned professional wanting new perspectives, or anything in between, I will gladly share my experience and passion with you.
