What do you love about teaching?

I love seeing a song come to life from beginning to end. I also love the challenge of figuring out how to teach something that is more abstract and creative (when playing something that is not written out as notes on a staff).

What is your favorite musical style, band or song?

I like pop, jazz and funk best but enjoy all styles that have good melodies and rhythmic.

What is or would be your favorite place to travel to and why?

Israel … would love to see all the places I’ve read about in the Bible.

What is your favorite thing to do on a rainy Sunday afternoon?

Please describe your teaching style. What can a parent expect their child to learn?

I tailor lessons specifically to each student, for each one is different. I use method books for the younger students but don’t always feel the necessity to do this with ones who are older. It really depends on their aptitude for music and also their musical interests and goals. That said, parents can always expect to get a solid core of theory and basic understanding of the fundamentals upon which music is based, no matter which approach is taken.
