Why and how I teach

To teach is to learn and my passion to teach is fueled by my love for music.

Classes are a shared process of exploration and I want students to feel comfortable asking questions, making attempts, mistakes, and developing a unique musical voice.

How lessons Work

Each student brings different experience, interest, and goals to a lesson. I tailor lessons to the individual, while also helping students learn not just what to practice, but how to practice.

  1. Technique:

    Warm up exercises designed to develop technical skill. 

  2. Music study:

    Ear training, reading music, general music theory, and repertoire.

  3. Making music:

    Working on a complete song or tune that the student brings in or something we discover together.
