Mission: The study of music plays many important roles in the
development of a
child. From a very young age, when exposure to music helps to
wire the brain for
learning, to older students who develop character, poise,
self-condence, and
personal responsibility through their study of it. Music
is a uniuely human
endeavor that enriches our lives at every stage of development.
My goal is to
ma!e music accessible to all of my students by tailoring my
methods to their
uniue needs.
