Hello students and parents! I've got some music swag for you, but first I need to unpack who "you" are. Let me explain.

I believe that students come before music. That means I do not force students into traditional roles of concert pianist or orchestral clarinetist like many other private teachers. Instead, I meet students where they are. Many K-12 musicians play Harry Potter and K-pop before Mozart and Bach. Playing relevant music benefits students by enabling them to enjoy their lessons. It also helps students define themselves, in part, as music makers.

People who include music making as part of their identity play and enjoy music on a deep level throughout their entire lives. For this reason, my college-bound students continue making music after they leave the studio even though most do not pursue careers in music.
