Teaching Philosophy

Every person can learn to be a musician. A musician creates an excellent sound and takes joy in what they play, no matter their skill level. I teach my students to be proud of what they play and to stretch and grow to become better players.

As a Suzuki certified teacher, I believe that teaching people to play instruments means teaching them to find value in themselves and to share that value with their friends, family, and community. Students progress with the praise and encouragement of their teacher and their family members, learning to celebrate all aspects of music.
