Building Musicianship and
Private Lessons
I am delighted to announce that I am currently offering private music lessons in the comfort of your own home.
With my experience teaching hundreds of students and giving thousands of lessons over the past 15 years, I am confident that together with my in home instruction and personalized online resources, I will provide a quality education that will encourage, build and strengthen musicianship.
Students of any age, musical aptititude and stage of development will have the opportunity to benefit from my sequential approach to music and learning.
I have done extensive research and made an effort to implement scientifically based strategies and apply new technologies to "how people learn and experience music" to every facet of my instruction. This is the foundation of my approach to teaching. My learning sequences are organized in ways that engage, motivate and empower musicians to succeed at being musical.

Today's Musician
It is an exciting time to be a music teacher and student. There is a growing awareness among the population of the importance of musical training in human development. Music is such an important part of being human. To experience, learn and develop new musical skills and awareness enriches the spirit.
In the area of psychology, there is increasing evidence that musical talent is not a special gift that only a few people are born with, but an aspect of human intelligence which all people can demonstrate to some degree. In fact, research provides us with examples of people of all levels of musical aptitude and ability demonstrating achievement, when given the appropriate instruction and environment.
Students who dedicate themselves to a regular routine of recommended activities will often experience and demonstrate musical achievement and success.
