Philosophy on Teaching

Each student learns in their own way and has goals unique to their own journey. In our lessons we will find the path that works for you.

Listening is the most important skill a musician can invest in. When we tune in to the world around us, whether that be in a jazz quartet or sitting on a park bench, we tune in to ourselves.

Lets Learn Together!
