In a small group class setting, I provide each individual student the tools that they need to succeed in this course and have an open door policy that allows students and parents to discuss whatever shortcomings there are. Throughout my professional experience as a performing musician, it is important to be able to build the confidence of my students so that they can thrive in their learning experiences.Reviews
