All of our instructors have studied diligently and for many years with me, even if they have had prioir training elsewhere.
It is important to me that they use my unique style of teaching as well as mastering their music studies. All
have unique specialties that students can benefit from. From the very beginning they have shown a strong desire to accomplish
and master new skills presented. They have a genuine love for music and dedication to practice and theory. With various
styles and unique rhythym, artistic, performing expertise- all students will benefit from them. They are hand selected by
myself and enter into a diligent training program, on top of continuing their lessons for two years before they can be accepted
as an actual instructor.
