​

From decades of performing with and educating musicians of all ages, I have found that teaching with patience, creativity, engagement, and integrity are cornerstones of good teaching and student success.

 

My unwavering expectation of students' best, a desire to ignite excitement about music in others, and complete acceptance of my students as people in the world leads reliably to their enjoyment and mastery of music.

 

My utmost goal is that my students enjoy a life-long pursuit of music that expands their creativity, and that they understand meaningful engagement involves work and joy in equal parts.

 

I provide all students with well-developed musical knowledge, self-knowledge, performance expertise, and most importantly, an excitement and curiosity for continued engagement with music at their highest ability long after their time with me.
