Teaching Philosophy
I believe that the arts are a universal and fundamental part of the human experience, and this belief is what drives my teaching practice. Regardless of age or experience level, I believe that music and theatre should, above all else, be a joyful experience. My lessons are led by my students' curiosity and passion; whatever you are interested in is what we'll explore together.
​
My student-led approach to teaching means that I help my students build the confidence that they need to succeed by working with them to hone their individual strengths, and navigate their individual challenges.
