Teaching Philosophy
I firmly believe that anyone can dive in and learn. My mission is simple: I want to create a learning space that's not just positive, but tailor-made for each student's unique abilities, interests, and dreams. It's within this space that their musical skills can truly flourish. From grasping the fundamental rhythms and pulse to reading music with ease, and delving into the depths of theory, form, and harmony. I can tailor my approach to suit each student's unique needs. I'm not just about teaching notes; I'm here to foster strong connections between parents and students. I believe in providing homework, materials, and feedback that empower students to truly succeed on their musical journey.

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!
