I think of myself as a coach more than teacher because I prioritize the holistic wellbeing of my students just as much as educational goals and put strong emphasis on the playful creative process, directed by their goals and interests. My approach is informed by my training as a graduate student in music therapy and my own journey as a musician in various contexts.

All lessons include:
* checkin and goal-setting
* connecting learning with creative expression
* setting intentions for home practice between
* followup email with notes and encouragement
