Introduction: Violin, flute, clarinet, saxophone, piano, trombone. Would you like to make beautiful music? Now is the time to begin! My philosophy of teaching music is broad and flexible. Every student is a different individual and learns in different ways. I try to make lessons as interesting and as useful to each student as I can and include different things based on your interests and capabilities. Most students find duets are fun, so I include them often - both duets with the same instrument you are studying and duets with other instruments as well, so you can learn the sound of such combinations. I encourage you to "play with your ears" as well as your fingers to become a critical listener to your own performance and to decide whether you sound the way you want to sound.
