My teaching philosophy centers on the belief that every student is capable of learning and has unique strengths and challenges. As an educator, it is my responsibility to create a safe and inclusive learning environment that encourages students to explore their own ideas and perspectives.

I have extensive experience working with a diverse range of age groups, including kindergarten group lessons, teenagers, parent and child lessons, senior citizens, as well as more advanced gigging musicians. This broad spectrum of experiences has equipped me with the ability to tailor my teaching approach to meet the specific needs and interests of each individual.

I strive to develop meaningful relationships with my students and to provide them with the tools and resources necessary to achieve their academic goals. Learning, in my view, should be an active and collaborative process, where students are encouraged to engage with the material and with each other.

I aim to create opportunities for students to apply their learning in real-world contexts, to develop critical thinking skills, and to become lifelong learners. As a teacher, I am committed to ongoing professional development and staying up-to-date on the latest research and best practices in education. I am dedicated to creating a culture of respect, empathy, and kindness in my classroom, and to providing all students with an equitable and accessible education.
