ABOUT TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Guiding Philosophy -
All children have talent.
The journey is more important than the destination.
Teaching Philosophy -
My private lessons are tailored to each student's needs and strengths. We concentrate on sequential "small-chunk" progress. Review is key as well as polishing each song. I believe beautiful tone comes from correct and consistent posture. We have lots of fun during lessons while getting all the details down pat. 'One step at a time.'
