Teaching Info

Drawing from my rich educational background and experiences, I’ve developed a teaching approach that places a strong emphasis on nurturing creativity and refining technical skills. From high school and college classrooms and tutoring university students I’ve had the pleasure of sharing my knowledge and passion for music with students of all ages and backgrounds guiding them through the intricacies of playing instruments music theory and composition.

My ultimate goal as an educator is to empower students to explore the possibilities of music and to express themselves authentically through their artistic endeavors. I firmly believe in creating a supportive and stimulating learning environment where students feel encouraged to develop their unique musical voice. Through personalized guidance and support, I strive to inspire my students to discover their potential and get playing and writing and just have fun with music.
