Philosophy: My goal as a teacher is to individually tailor my teaching to each student's learning style, and to pin point their strengths and weaknesses to make them a well rounded musician. I will listen to both the parents and students ideas and ambitions. The most important aspect of teaching is to instill them with a personal love of creating music, that each student can find a way to express themselves without words. Ultimately, to create an independent student, who has developed their own opinion of what they like.
