Teaching is an open-ended and on-going dialogue between the teacher and student. The role of the teacher is to find who the individual is both musically and as a person and give them the tools to reflect this in every note of the music. I believe wholeheartedly that there are endless possibilities in the way that music is taught as each person brings their own individual experiences with them. I strive to create an environment that allows students to achieve their goals on an individual basis and through this process also help students develop ways to self-evaluate and assess their playing. Together we will assess these individual goals and create short-term and  long-term technical, artistic, and performance goals.
