“I want to give my students an appreciation for all styles of music and the tools they need to be the best performers and creators they can be.”

I have worked with beginner to college level students ages 6 through 75!  Every student has different needs.  Some will become great performers, others will learn their favorite songs and nurture a love for music. Many will develop their creativity and skills which will enhance other areas of their lives.
