“I strive to provide a safe opportunity for students to experience confidence, support, responsibility, failure, success, empathy, joy, community; how to listen, work through frustration, seize curiosity, respect the intangible, appreciate consonance (and dissonance!), and most importantly how to build something meaningful with nothing more than imagination and hard work.”

“Meeting and speaking with youth from every quarter, and forming connections with prospective AND current students are the most rewarding highlights of my job.”

“It is important that my students understand and believe that they can be creative and expressive practitioners of music with any amount of experience, using the skills and strengths they already possess. I hope all of my students will develop strong listening skills, maintain a curious and open mind, and remain appreciative and supportive of the arts.”
