Pedagogical Philosophy

Students are capable of reaching great heights and my role it to help them achieve their potential. Learning an instrument can be difficult. Progress happens incrementally over time. Staying motivated throughout is key. Let's celebrate each victory along the way as the students continue on the path to excellence.

Technical Foundation

Technical ability allows the student to play the music that they want. Breath control, articulation, range, and speed are worked on each week.
