As a student, I was been fortunate enough to learn under some of the kindest, most generous, and supportive teachers in our community. At every turn, even at my lowest musical points, these women found ways to lift me up, encourage me, and push me to be better in every aspect of my life. It is these teachers that inspire the most essential element of my teaching style. I find that all students, regardless of age or background, can find benefits and incredible growth through building a relationship with someone whose primary agenda is to create an environment for learning through positive reinforcement. In each interaction with students, my primary goal is to help them find a positive path toward reaching their individual goals. Beyond being just generally wonderful people, these teachers also instilled in me an appreciation and understanding for the foundational elements of the technical and musical parts of playing the harp. My goal with any student is to help them reach their goals in a fun and supportive environment that will leave them feeling inspired to continue their musical journey!
