Hello!

Thank you for considering working on your musical journey with me! I have worked to create a method of teaching that is based on patience and collaboration. I feel that these foundational concepts are crucial to teaching as they require the teacher to have great respect for the students musical journey, and the collaboration is then geared towards a mutual understanding of the experience of music and allows the teacher to gently guide the student based on their expertise. I am also aware that for every person wanting to learn music, there is a near equal number of ways in which a person best interprets the necessary information, so I see it as my job to work with the student to figure out how to best aid them. Throughout my time teaching, I have taught musicians at nearly every level, and at many different ages: young children, folks in their retirement years, and some in between. I consider it a strength of mine that I am able to communicate with all kinds of people and I feel very comfortable doing so, and in fact enjoy it. 

I feel it is very important that the learning space is also a space of inclusion, and thus requires an open and accepting mind from both the teacher and the student.
