As a music educator it is
my goal to always provide a thorough
approach to the study of music with a
professional attitude and genuine concern
for the progress and well-being of all
students. It is my belief that every student
should find the process of learning music to
be rewarding and I will always strive to
give support and guidance as well as an
appropriate amount of challenge for each
student's individual needs.
For the beginning student, instruction focuses on
developing musicality first, by studying rhythm and
aural exercises that introduce the student to the
foundations of music. Students later begin to study
reading, technique, theory, improvisation and
composition in a variety of styles. For students who
have previously studied music, instruction focuses
on working carefully with each student to discern
where study is most needed to further the student's
abilities in whatever skills most interest them.
As a teacher, I have a very personal approach
developed out of my own struggles and successes.
Because I am persistent, caring, and genuinely
sincere, I believe that I can help all students
accomplish a higher level of musicianship and a
greater understanding and appreciation of music.
My studio is located in Downers Grove and I am also
available for lessons in your home.
