About Me:
I am a caring and patient teacher who will get the most out of every minute of the lesson. In my lessons I try to approach several areas of musicianship - technique, theory and repertoire. It is my belief that whatever style of music is being studied the objective should be to have a sound musical base. You will find my lessons rewarding but fun at the same time.
