Philosophy and Focus

My goals are to open, nurture, and help each student to develop his or her musical talents.

I make every effort to motivate, educate, and encourage my students

to reach their individual potential.

The goal of each class is to create a positive, fun and relaxed learning atmosphere

for musical as well as intellectual stimulation.

Friendships develop and the joy of sharing music is experienced.

I offer personalized instruction in a private lesson setting.

These lessons are designed for beginning and intermediate students.

I am also available for recital and audition preparation

for advanced students and professionals.
