Approach to Teaching: "I have a positive attitude and try to make my students feel welcome and at ease. I've been described as having a pleasant way of instructing my students, resulting in them understanding what I say. My strengths include being patient, thorough, and observant. I combine instinct with musical knowledge in the teaching process. I help my students to relax and smile while learning. When I teach I speak from lots of experience as a performer who knows first hand what it's like to be in front of an audience. I go beyond reading notes to emphasize how important interpretation is in music."
The Impact of Music: "Music has brought so much joy into my life. Whether singing or playing an instrument, I feel more uplifted and alive. Music to me isn't a solitary past-time, but one that needs to be shared. Being a musician has given me a way to express myself and to reach out to others. Above all, what makes it all worthwhile is knowing that I can move people emotionally and spiritually."
