Teaching Philosophy
My philosophy is that every student has a unique perspective on how to assimilate music, some of us have difficulties with some things and others might not, so I think it is best to find the right technique for each student. Because music is so diverse, we have different ways of approaching it. I like the atmosphere of my lessons to be pleasant and respectful. I aim to make the students feel comfortable and to clarify any doubts they have. I can develop the content of the course in a stress free way so that the student doesn't feel overwhelmed and improves his or her performance.

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!
