"My desire is to guide my students in their educational goals. I believe learning is a great adventure which expands us as individuals. Music is a wonderful and highly sought after skill that, once learned properly, will be a joy for a lifetime. My teaching method does not involve learning to read music. Rather it involves learning the patterns and structure inherent in music and the instrument of choice. There is a mechanical side and an intuitive side to music. It is my desire to help my students find that wonderful balance in their playing."
