Private Studio
I maintain a private studio of about 20 students, ranging in age from eight through amateur adult. I teach through the fundamentals of classical technique with a strong emphasis on music theory and vocabulary. I am a big supporter of each student forging their own musical path and am always happy to explore other genres including folk, pop, etc.
