| Teaching studio in Wind Gap, Pennsylvania. |
- I offer private study in music.
- Online lessons are provided through Lessonface.
- My home studio is open to adult beginners who wish to make music for pleasure and to mature adolescents who wish to audition for college or conservatory. I will consider teaching self-motivated children with cooperative and committed parents. I primarily teach older adults.
- My teaching is influenced by concepts from the Alexander Technique, the Taubman approach, & Gestalt psychology.
