Musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability which can be developed.
~ Shinichi Suzuki
My Philosophy
Music lessons should be fun and inspire a life-long love of music.
Lessons include a variety of games and activities to reinforce learning.
Music is a language.
Students learn music by extensive listening, picking up on patterns, and exploration. Reading music is an important skill that can be developed along-side playing skills without limiting students to only playing music they can read.
Creativity is an important part of music lessons.
In addition to repertoire, proper technique, and music theory, my students also learn to improvise and compose their own music.
Music makes the world a better place.
Not every student will go on to be a professional musician, but the skills developed in piano and cello lessons will carry over into all aspects of their lives. Music lessons foster confidence, responsibility, empathy, and much more.
