Studies have shown that, in addition to having emotional and aesthetic benefits, music contributes to better brain development and functioning. Music also helps relieve stress and bring people together.

My teaching method is based on a proven classical technique with emphasis on musical expression. Music is meant to be enjoyed, which is why my method of teaching incorporates playing a musical instrument with playing musical games. I also believe that the human voice is a perfect instrument that everyone already has; therefore, I incorporate singing into learning. Since each person is unique, every program is tailored to the individual’s needs and interests. I write custom music arrangements for each student, taking into account their skill level. My students have a chance to develop as well-rounded musicians while playing the music they enjoy.
