About
I love to teach and share the joy of making music. I am a positive person with a nurturing attitude, and I want our lessons to be educationally FUN! :)
I enjoy seeing the joy and sometimes surprise that students have when they GET something for the 1st time! I enjoy teaching from a plan, but also being able to find great teachable moments that happen from an unexpected question or "performance". :)
