The Vision

I am a music teacher, a composer, a musician, but first and foremost I am an educator.

I want to create creators. I don’t want my students to just play what is everywhere, I want them to create something that is their own. They should be their favorite musician or artist.

I want to provide music opportunities to those who can’t afford it, or don’t have easy access, or maybe need a musical outlet. Music helped me when I needed it, and I want to provide that for others.

I like to think of myself as the Bob Ross of music: it’s our world, we have sounds and songs in our brains we want to create. So let's do it, and have fun in the process.
