About
Interaction not only between student and teacher but in duets, trios, different instruments working together. All styles of music. Students interacting with students. Performance, competition, and Master Class oportunities. Understanding and application of all aspects of Music.
Music is a wonderful gift. One that will not only bless the student and teacher but those around them. To see a student perfect and enjoy a song no matter what their level, is a joy. To be able to have an outlet for your emotions, perfecting your discipline through music is a wonderful experience that lasts your whole life. There is nothing more satisfying and fulfilling than having music be a part of your life and your families. I look forward to having the pleasure of helping bring music to my students homes.
