About Me:
Through my many years of teaching, I have come to believe that learning a musical instrument is more than just a technical skill, rather a new language. The world of music opens the hearts and minds of individuals spanning all ages and backgrounds. My goal in teaching is to bring to others, the joy that music brings to me. I consider myself expert, although not limited to the Suzuki method and am open to teaching all styles and genres.
