Teaching Artist Statement
As an artist, I operate on the firm belief that any person can learn music from any age or background. Each student learns differently and grasps material in their own unique way. I strive to guide each individual to utilize his/her strengths and interests, so that he/she is able to take ownership of their craft, even from a beginning stage.
