TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
From TH.com
​
I believe music is a powerful activity that can enable exploration of self, the world around us, and with each other. My goal is to foster a lifelong passion for music and musical expression. I tailor my lessons to each individual dependent on goals, instrument, age, and interest. I provide a unique perspective on music from my research in psychology, neuroscience, education, technology, and as a performing artist in creative music applications. Whether your goals are to play your favorite songs, play in a band, jam with your friends, play music for health and wellness, or start a career in music, I can help you accelerate your progress.
