Philosophy 

      My fundamental educational philosophy is that music learning should be curiosity driven, active, enjoyable, and emphasize student self-expression. Transmitting the richness of the Western Classical music tradition to my students is also of the utmost importance to me.

     I believe in equality of opportunity. Each student deserves equal opportunities to learn music. Students should have fair access to instruction suited to their abilities, interests, and talents. I strive to reach out to both the most and least advanced students and to use a variety of techniques to relate to the different learning styles and student experiences.

    I believe in mutual respect between teachers and students, for it is absolutely necessary for student learning to occur: my students need to trust that I have something to offer them while I need to respect the effort that they make to master new skills and to recognize that student ideas can contribute to my own intellectual development.
