Teaching Philosophy

“I learned early in my musical career that I was inspired and motivated to share music with others, using it as an avenue for connection, growth and change. I believe in the power of music to affect change. I believe in the innate musical nature of all individuals. My work involves providing a musical experience that is unique to each individual, helping them connect to themselves and others and helping them reach their highest potential in music and in life, Music is so versatile and so many elements of music can be manipulated. I love welcoming individuals into the music and observing the many different ways one can “be in music”.
