Teaching Info
Maintaining musical individuality is an important aspect of teaching for me. I like to offer students the freedom to express themselves using their instrument. Ensuring a comfortable setting where the student can gain confidence and individuality as a musician.
Another big focus in my teaching is the aural component to learning. This coupled with training in technique, theory and improvisation can ensure a productive, yet thoroughly enjoyable lesson!
