Music Lessons
About Me
As a child I made drums of my mother's kitchenware and LOVED listening to music. At age 12, I started drum lessons, taught myself guitar, and started a band a few months after that. I have been writing and performing ever since. My passion for music helped me earn a Bachelor's and Master's degree in music performance. I continue to study, practice, write and perform music. And now passing on what I have learned is one of my life's passions.
Teaching Philosophy
My lessons focus on connecting you to your inner musical self. Guiding eager musicians to new creative and musical abilities and seeing skills' ripple effects on other aspects of their life and is what drives me to teach.
​
Connecting to Music
Music classes with me are about exploring YOUR connection to music. When you connect to your favorite music on a deeper level your curiosity and passion for music becomes internally motivated. This is where the "magic" happens, where practice-time flies by and the gift of music shows itself.
​
Life Skills
Musical skill rewards those who demonstrate perseverance and discipline. It means going beyond one's perceived limits. With me as your guide, music lessons are a fun way to sharpen those skills. Children especially benefit from a music lessons experience that provides lasting effects on self-esteem and resilience.
Performing
Expectation of performance is reserved for students who demonstrate the desire to perform. Most people enroll in music classes for fun and personal development not because of a grand vision of performance excellence. Until you say so, my lessons revolve around fun and developing a healthy connection with music.
You have the music inside, and I'm here to help you connect with it
