- Teaching Method -

I believe that music is for self expression and personal growth. I use skills and knowledge to improve technique.

I can help with selecting an instrument, tuning, proper pitch, practice methods, rhythm, articulation, music notation, terminology, harmony, breathing, stance, phrasing and presenting a complete song.
