Teaching Philosophy


Every student has a voice. With the right amount of direction and determination, that voice can change the world.

​From a young age, I have been fortunate to garner inspiration and guidance from those who surround me; family, friends, and most importantly my teachers. Educators in all concentrations share a similar task, and with that I associate a tremendous amount of responsibility. As a music educator, it is my responsibility to 'pay it forward', which in this context means to nurture, support, and encourage my students with the same care and consideration that I benefitted from as a young person. I believe an effective teacher makes a conscious effort to connect with his students on a personal level, as knowing the personalities of each student will allow for a more customized educational approach. As an educator it is my responsibility to set the expectations high, often higher than students may feel is attainable. I believe that when the right balance of knowledge, support, and guidance is provided, the students can truly flourish. 

​My philosophy in the studio parallels that to the classroom–teaching is not just a job, it's a vocation and a way of life. In today's world, to be a musician requires a skill set that is in no way limited to any one genre or style. I come from a diverse musical background and believe it is essential for every young musician to learn the fundamental tools necessary to perform in any musical setting. In the studio, fundamental technique is of utmost importance, and my teaching method embodies this through a variety of musical styles. Embracing music through many styles (classical, jazz, commercial, and beyond) provides my students with a wide spectrum from which they can learn and develop. In the classroom, I strive to present material in a manner that is relevant to their study and utilize a variety of platforms to create an interactive, holistic approach to their learning experience.

​It is important as an educator to think about the bigger picture and to be attentive to guide students with the utmost support and inspiration. The American philosopher John Dewey once said, "Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself". It is my job as an effective educator to inspire, guide, and assist my students in cultivating their own musical voices and to prepare them for their experience in the greater world of music.

Administrative Philosophy


I believe that a quality education is possible when the administrators and faculty work together in creating a holistic approach to learning. It is the responsibility of the administration to effectively communicate with the instructors on all matters related to the success of the program. My experience working with a variety of curriculums at several institutions of higher education has shaped the way in which I manage my courses and private studio instruction.

A quality, well-rounded education starts from the bottom up; adjuncts are the backbone of every institution. The focus from an administrative end should connect instructors to philosophy and curriculum. I believe in a universal comprehensive curriculum that adequately prepares the student for their experiences after college, either professionally or academically. Additionally, I feel it is important to utilize technology to advance the learning process. There are countless ways in which I've seen technology incorporated into the classroom, whether it's through the use of a 'smart classroom' or an interactive computer lab, technology is now a vital aid to the 21st century educational experience.

A good administrator is someone who knows the value of the adjuncts who are in the classroom, and trusts their ability and responsibility to successfully implement the curriculum. Part of the responsibility of the administrator is to evaluate the adjuncts. Student evaluations don't provide a full insight to the inner workings of the course, but they signify trends. Whether positive or negative, the administration needs to see that the instructors are provided with all the materials they need as well as to take suggestions on ways in which improvements can be made; recruitment, performance opportunities, community outreach, purchasing new equipment and curriculum re-evaluation. Effective communication is paramount to the success of any program. 

The opportunity to have a lasting impact on the next generation of performers and educators should never be taken for granted. From the administration to the teachers, we all play a vital role in shaping the creativity and artistic drive of our young musicians. French composer Nadia Boulanger said "The essential conditions of everything you do must be choice, love, passion​", I believe in this philosophy as it relates to music education. It is our responsibility to inspire, nurture and guide the musical voice of every student we encounter.
