Music education is an on-going, cumulative process, and is not taught “by the lesson”. The commitment to you and/or your children is a continuing one; this means more than simply being there at the lessons. It means committing to, taking and interest in, and actively considering the needs of each student and family in the studio. "Behind the scenes” I continually update my teaching strategies; I attend conventions and workshops for new ideas; I maintain memberships to numerous professional organizations, as follows:
American Federation of Musicians, Local 325 (AFM)
