"What makes a great teacher?
One that looks inside the student to see individual skills and talent. Then builds on these gifts to empower the student to create their unique voice. This is a rare skill and insight that may not be pedigogical."

I believe that teaching music must include the "why" as well as the "how" to play a composition. For example, when preparing for a college audition, it is important to choose appropriate repertoire and understand it analytically as well as be able to perform it convincingly.

For older students, who may have learned a repertoire with an incomplete understanding of its structure and history, I can offer them a deeper relationship with the music.

I will be expanding my availability to work with private students. If you are interested in working with me, I would be delighted to hear from you.
