About Me:
Learning music is a process through experience and application. When a student experiences rhythm and sound application of these experiences through guided learning achieves successful playing. Students learn through seeing and playing what is seen. Then they learn to understand what is being played. What is on the page,what the composer put on the page, dynamics, phrasing than learn to express the message of the music. I use age appropriate material to encourage student's personality and tastes.
