Mission Statement
I believe that every human being is musical. I approach each lesson knowing this about my students; catering and encouraging personal strengths while finding the right tools and techniques to combat weaknesses. I love exploring musical history, while trying to understand how it works, and how we make it significant for ourselves and others.
“Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.”-Confucius
