In Their Own Words

"As a teacher, it is my role to push students to a level of excellence on their instrument in order that they become the best they can be. I encourage all students to take up a second instrument to complement their principal, that they may have a wider understanding of the music in any given situation. It is important that students become equipped and prepared for a successful career in a competitive music industry."

"My growth as a teacher comes from my own desire to be a better musician. While instructing students of various age groups and cultures in and outside Berklee, I have found that each student has a learning language. Discovering this language is the first step to acting as a successful teacher."
