TEACHING

Welcome to my teaching page!

I am passionate about helping my students discover the joy, refinement, and reward that comes from music-making. We are a team and support one another, as we foster beautiful relationships that ultimately link humanity together forever. In the words of Pablo Casals, "Perhaps it is music that will save the world."

THE SUZUKI METHOD

Suzuki based his approach on the belief that “Musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability which can be developed. Any child who is properly trained can develop musical ability, just as all children develop the ability to speak their mother tongue. The potential of every child is unlimited.”
