Teaching Statement
Any music student has the ability to succeed. It is my job as a teacher to help students do just that. The journey is how the student truly discovers themselves. I provide students with every bit of information that I can to guide them through their journey.
Music is very personal. Students who learn to play an instrument tend to become very vulnerable during the process. After learning the basic technique, they must look inside themselves to find their expression and create their art. I believe in creating a safe and enthusiastic environment for my students to explore that part of themselves.
I also believe that music should be enjoyable. Not all students want to become professional musicians. Many simply love music and want to learn enough to be able to create a little on their own. Some need a boost to improve at school. Some want a new and different challenge. No matter the motivation my job is to teach them to have fun and enjoy music.
Education
DEC in music performance from Marianopolis College
