Mission Statement
It is my goal to meet the learning needs of each student and to fit repertoire and opportunities to his interests and ability in a nurturing environment.
The Studio
Curricula are tailored to the age, interest and aptitude of the student with a variety of performance opportunities throughout the year. A reward system boosts lesson preparation. Classical music is the cornerstone of the instruction with a systematic study of theory a part of every lesson.
