“My focus is on positive encouragement, applied wisdom, and honest, constructive feedback. I like to let students determine their own path in a broad sense; as a teacher, I’m here to give you the tools and methods. I designed a methodology that compartmentalizes your skillset into four distinct ‘pillars:’ Theory, Listening, Improvisation, and Performance. This allows an hour-long session to be broken up into 1, 2, 3, or 4 sections evenly, optimizing flexibility and purpose.”
