Teaching Philosophy
I believe everyone can make music. I also believe that music offers us so many paths to – as the saying goes – “choose your own adventure”, that the journey is genuinely up to you. I consider myself part expert, part guide, part cheerleader; more than anything, I am right there with you on the journey!
Live Classes
I teach in terms of 6-10 weeks, depending on the calendar. Subscribe to my newsletter for notices about upcoming classes and/or check out the Shop to see what’s open for registration.
