My Mission
While I wish for my students to experience the joy of ensemble participation, performing on an instrument and the joy of music making, it is my ultimate goal to create a learning environment in which all of my students will participate in musicianly behaviors such as composing, improvising, and researching music from many cultures. Through this involvement, I believe that students are more likely to become life-long learners and have a deeper understanding and love of music.
