Teaching Philosophy
In my lessons, I make sure all my students learn to play their instruments easily and without any strain. I believe that playing music should be a fun and lifelong journey. That's why I teach the idea of "effortless effort," which helps with better control, musicianship, and most importantly, enjoyment! For my younger students, I pick songs that match their skills and keep an eye out for any areas they might need to work on. With my more experienced students, I help them play music that builds on what they already know, so they're always learning something new. My goal is for every student to feel like they've achieved or learned something new in every lesson. With my younger students, I select repertoire according to their proficiencies while always on the look out for technical/musical "blindspots." With my experienced students, I assist them in playing music that builds on or improves their prior skill-sets, so that their musical learning experiences are continuously expanding. I strive for having my students sense they have accomplished or learned something new in every lesson.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
