Experience
I have been teaching since 1993 and have mostly taught Band, but some Choir, Guitar, Percussion Ensemble, and General Music along the way. I have also been on the worship team either as leader or member at whatever church I have attended.
Teaching style
I have always felt extremely fortunate to teach the same students from middle school through high school and share in something that they love! When you are with students for 8 years, you can't help but get to know them and have a deep relationship with not only the student, but with the family as well. My students know that I love them dearly but I also hold them to a high standard not only musically, but morally as well. We make mistakes together but at the end of the day, hopefully we have lived corem Deo!!!!!
