My Teaching Philosophy
My lessons are student centered. I offer students expert guidance in their music studies towards their real musical goals. I believe that all people are inherently musical, and music is a natural part of life. The lessons are student centered. Each student receives an individualized, personal music lesson.

If the student wishes to succeed in realizing his or her musical goals, the student must practice on an instrument that meets minimum standards of quality and bring instrument(s) and text materials to the lesson.

Rates And Availability
I teach in my professionally equipped studio. I have plenty of space, with windows and room for the piano and drum set. I have a beautiful waiting room for family and friends that has a rug, a toy box, and a book shelf with many children's books. Parking is convenient, right outside the front door.
