Philosophy

 

Passion:  I love what I do. I have always had the desire to gather information about music and share that knowledge with others. My focus is to find the best way to communicate and inspire every student I work with. Connecting and getting excited about music has a positive impact on other areas of life. 


Motivation:  I want my students to ENJOY what they play-- you are likely to practice twice as long if you enjoy your songs. Not everything you learn will be your "favorite!" but when nessesary I do let my students' goals and inspirations drive song choices.


Exellence:  Note reading. Ear training. A well-rounded and thinking-musician is my goal. I mix technique, theory, playing by ear, composing, and note-reading all together to bring total comprehension of music to the mind and body.
