As a percussionist, my teaching philosophy centers around nurturing creativity, instilling discipline, and fostering a deep appreciation for music. I believe in tailoring my approach to each student's needs, focusing on developing their unique strengths while addressing areas for improvement. I aim to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel inspired to explore new ideas and techniques. I emphasize the importance of consistent practice and goal-setting, helping students build the skills and confidence needed to succeed. I also believe in the power of collaboration and encourage students to participate in ensemble playing whenever possible. This not only enhances their musical skills but also teaches valuable lessons in teamwork and communication. Overall, my goal is to empower students to become well-rounded percussionists who are not only technically proficient but also passionate and expressive musicians.

Home visit fee: $15 minimum fee. Teachers may negotiate a higher travel fee if the travel distance is longer than they are comfortable with. Most arrangements use the minimum fee.
One-Time Family Registration: $25. This covers your entire family for life - once you're in, everyone can take lessons!
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!
