About

I have a B.S. in Music Education. I have worked with several disabled students patiently guiding them, finding creative ways to make music accessible to them.

Anyone can learn to sing or play but not everyone is going to enjoy it without the right approach and teacher. I don't want to hear a student say that the ... teacher didn't listen to me, they wouldn't entertain my ideas.
I have in my studio a keyboard that attaches to my laptop for the young musical composer as well as a Baldwin Piano. I encourage the composer to the pop music player, from the classical artist to the Broadway singer.
