My Teaching Philosophy
As a musician, I firmly believe that beginner, advanced, amateur, and professional music is all of equal importance to musical culture and society. As a teacher, I aim to help my students realize a musical life for themselves, whatever that may look like. Ultimately, I believe in meeting students where they’re at in terms of both skill level and interests, because the best way to improve as a musician is to chase the music that excites you. Whether that means learning advanced skills and repertoire, or strumming through a pop song, I want to help identify what gets you excited, help you find more of it, and guide you in the process of capturing that excitement on your instrument. Whether you want a creative outlet, to improve as an artist, or are simply looking to enrich your life through a hobby, I am honored to be a part of your musical journey.
