"I love teaching. There's nothing more satisfying than seeing people of all ages learning and discovering music. My goal is to give students all the tools they'll need to do whatever moves them musically. Whether it's playing in small ensembles or orchestra or solo performance, music is such a great way to connect with other people and really express yourself and get lost in the beauty and complexity that is making music together. I want my students to be confident that there are no holes in their technique, that they understand everything they need to know in order to make great music."
