TEACHING PHILOSOPHY:
Lessons are fun and engaging, and often include duets and singalongs with younger students, and music production and composition with older students. Every student is unique, from the shape of their hand to their personality and their learning style, and instruction is always tailored to fit the individual needs and interests of the student, with topics ranging from composition to popular music to jazz. A fun activity often incorporated into the lessons are bespoke arrangements of students’ favorite movie themes or pop tunes. Students are encouraged to explore new sounds and styles while furthering familiar favorites, and lessons are as relaxing or as intense as the student wishes.
