FIDDLE, BANJO, UKE, & GUITAR LESSONS!
Teaching Style:
I enjoy guiding students as they develop the tools to play their instrument. My teaching philosophy is to meet the student where they are, in order to meet each individual students needs and development. I believe in the value of fostering a supportive learning environment in which I model clear, sensitive, and constructive communication.
