Teaching
The art of making music is ultimately about communicating your musical ideas as honestly and clearly as possible, regardless of your instrument or discipline. Technique matters only when it serves musical expression.
Music is also a craft—one handed down through generations. During our work together, we will explore not only technique, but also the historical, philosophical, and artistic traditions that shape great performances. Culture does not exist in isolation. In addition to lessons, students are encouraged to attend concerts, visit museums and churches, read broadly, and engage with the wider artistic world.
