The ultimate playing goal is for student to recognize their potential as a musician, this requires the student have numerous performances executed at an extremely high standard.

As a teacher, I incorporate several different music educational methods to engage the student to achieve their fullest level. By using principal from Gordon, Suzuki, Kodaly, Delcrose, or Orff, the student’s learning process are adjusted to suite their needs. Concepts like teaching the student the learning process rather than teaching particular application only will provide the student to excel above and beyond my limited time with them. In addition, I propose that a professional model such as myself be used as a imitative means to modify behavior and ideas. Not only do I perform for my students on a regular basis, but also perform in the community as much as possible. Arnold Jacobs’ concepts are principal to my teaching philosophy. Focusing on the ultimate outcome of music, not physical attributes while playing, is key to my teaching.

I am an advocate of the use of technology. Students of following generations will be accustom and expect the use of an interactive learning environment. Technology will be applied to fit the learning needs of each student.

​I believe that anyone who is dedicated to the craft of music shall overcome their personal disabilities and become a better musician, educator and person. My ultimate objective is to motivate students and provide a positive and engaging environment in which they can succeed in becoming what they desire.
