I am professional, dependable and will always call, e-mail or text ahead of time to confirm scheduled lessons. I am very organized and structured in my lessons. I have two cases of learning materials that I use in my lessons for young children to ensure a positive and happy learning experience. I enjoy teaching and watching students become successful in their musical endeavors.
Teaching music is my greatest passion. I enjoy watching my students become successful on their musical journey. I also enjoy learning how to improve my teaching and performance skills. I gain great joy from observing my students perform on stage and growing in their musical endeavors and abilities.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
The cheapest priced teacher is not always the best instructor. Review your teacher 's credentials and recommendations. A great teacher is not always an excellent performer. Many great performers do not know the first thing about teaching. Observe your teacher in how he or she instructs and what the teacher does when the student can't understand the instructions. Does the instructor offer alternative ways of learning a particular skill?

How great is your desire to learn music?
