Teaching Style
I am a skilled teacher able to inspire students to excel, while enjoying the experience of learning to play an instrument. Each lesson the student will play and learn a small section of: a solo song, technique exercise and duet. I have fun teaching my students-- I provide positive and practical encouragement.
My Hobbies
