About
In a nutshell, my teaching philosophy is all about cultivating inspiration through positive musical experiences. I teach with spirit, dedication and creative energy. Con Spirito! Interested in playing a Beatles song or a particular classical piece? I'd love to put together a rendition of a request and watch the learning unfold.
I love music and want to share that love with whomever is interested. If you practice, even just a little, I can see the learning happen and that's such a gift.
Best of all, as a teacher, I learn as well! I learn what makes a student light up. I learn how to play a new piece, or relearn an old piece for an interested student. I love to learn.
