Teaching style
My curriculum is designed to develop the foundational skills of music including rhythm, melody, dynamics, tempo, and more.
I then strive to integrate these skills into core subject curriculum by revealing the underlying concepts shared in math, science, literacy and other disciplines as experienced by students in academia as well as everyday life.
