Thank you for visiting my website!
I believe that the path to success in the arts develops in an atmosphere of acceptance, respect, creativity, and exploration. The burden of success falls on me to meet all of my students at their personal readiness level helping them to grow beyond their own expectations, finding strength and confidence.
My work facilitates acceptance, excellence, and appreciation while students grow within their own learning style. Students exhibit confidence and comfort in a safe environment, whether as future teachers, musicians, or leaders among their peers. They become independent musicians, singers, and educators that are successful in the music classroom, choral classroom, and in their community as leaders who have impact.
