Teaching Philosophy
I teach traditional style lessons using a combination of Suzuki repertoire, fiddle tunes, jazz, and popular music to tap into student motivation and enjoyment. Students will learn to read music, develop their technique, and learn good practice habits through study of repertoire, scales, and etudes. Students will also have fun through learning to play a variety of different styles.
