Philosophy
The study of music at any age is a joyful adventure full of discovery and challenges for both teacher and student. Having the skills to be comfortable in different musical situations, from solo to duet to ensemble, leads to a life long engagement with music.
Developing skill in improvising and composing as well as sight-reading opens the way for music to be a vehicle for self-expression and creativity.
