I believe that music has something to offer every student… From the beginner to the advanced student, the career-minded student to the hobbyist, making music enriches us all.   Whatever your goals and abilities, there is a place for you in the musical community!

I believe that every student is unique… We all learn differently and have different musical tastes.  Some of us learn by seeing, others by hearing and others by doing.  Some students love the classics, others prefer contemporary music styles.  Music is personal, and music instruction should be personal.

I believe that music is for sharing…  and that every student should have the opportunity to express them self through musical performance.  For some, it’s as simple as creating recordings to share with family and friends, or performing for peers at a group class.   Others find joy in collaborating with other musicians, or performing in laid-back community settings.  Still others thrive on competition and the thrill of the spotlight.   Our studio year includes opportunities and events for everyone!

I believe in a well-rounded approach to private music study… Learning to play an instrument involves more than simply learning to play a handful of pieces.  Music study trains the whole person: the eyes, the ears, the hands and the imagination.  I seek to give my students a comprehensive musical foundation that will serve them as life-long creators and patrons of music.
