🎹 Teaching Style
My teaching style is warm, patient, and encouraging. I believe in balancing structured learning with creativity and exploration. My goal is for students to feel confident and inspired as they learn to play their first instrument!

🚨 Is This Class Right for Your Child?
This class is designed for absolute beginners with no prior experience reading music or playing an instrument. If your child already knows how to read music or has played another instrument, I recommend checking out my “Individual Recorder Lessons: Beginner” class instead.
