| | Personal Statement
As a music instructor I feel that it is my job to first teach you to play and love music. Once you can competently play your instrument I can then then help you to understand how to create your own music and completely understand what the musicians around you are doing to create the sounds you have grown to love.
Please see my student handbook for details on my teaching methods and policies. Feel free to contact me.
