Music Education
Below is a portfolio of materials that gives a snapshot of my experience, and procedures in teaching. I believe in teaching strong musical foundations (literacy, history, theory, and technique) in a fair, safe, and tolerant atmosphere. I strive for my students to become confident in their musical knowledge and understanding to a point where they can independently learn, perform, and grow well after my guidance and our time together has passed.
