This area is dedicated to my thoughts on teaching and various subjects related to my pedagogy. I have a very enjoyable, fulfilling job teaching young musicians---one that is both rewarding and at times challenging. Please refer to my BLOG for discussions on common deficiencies I have encountered during my teaching career and ways I have found to help correct these deficiencies. I look forward to sharing this information.
