My teaching philosophy follows my musical beliefs—

Above everything else, I prioritize the student-mentor relationship we will forge. I want to help you find the answers you are looking for, not just apply a set curriculum.

Whatever your goals may be, I will tailor our studies towards it, and provide you with the resources to achieve them.

We will focus on a wholistic view of music, from the small details like theory and technique, to the big picture details, like history, individualism and being a musical community member.
