About
My service stands out and that I try very hard to fashion a program for each student. I am classically trained but yet use a lot of technology. I have an iPad Pro and we work with many different music apps.
First of all I really enjoy children. When a child plays a duet with me and their face lights up I feel good about that. When an older student is adjudicated and gets a superior, they feel good and so do I. Being a role model for children and teaching them that music can be fun is very rewarding.
