Teaching Philosophy
My educational philosophy is grounded in the fundamental belief that every individual possesses untapped potential to develop their musical abilities, whether they seek music for leisure or embark on a serious academic pursuit within the field. The moment when students begin composing their own music is particularly rewarding to me. I find deep satisfaction in witnessing their progress and celebrating each milestone they accomplish. My aim is to foster a structured and encouraging atmosphere where students not only appreciate the beauty of music but also excel in achieving their desired musical goals.

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!
