Diversity is the one thing we all have in common.
Children
Children as young as 3 years old are able to begin lessons with the Suzuki method as long as they are fully potty trained and are able to follow directions while sitting still. Movement and creativity including Dalcroze techniques are incorporated into the lesson. Parental interaction is necessary especially when taking online lessons. I welcome children with learning challenges into my studio.
Teenagers
Teenagers and young adults are welcome even if they have never studied before or have learning challenges. Exploration in a variety of musical styles as well as other creative platforms such as composition and improvisation help these adolescents begin to find their own voice. Forty-five minute lessons are recommended for this age group.
Adults
Adults of all ages and abilities are welcome into my studio—whether you are starting from scratch for the very first time or picking up an instrument after an extended hiatus. Special music sharing events allow adults to explore musical topics and ideas in a fun and relaxed environment. Adults are some of my favorite students.
