Over the years I have taught in many different settings:  public, private, and internationally.  I have had students that learning comes easy to and students that learning is a little more difficult, but no matter where I go or what my students struggle with, the answer is always the same…inspiration.  Without a clear vision, it’s hard to get excited about learning an instrument, but with a vision of where we want to go we are inspired to jump through those hurdles that plague our practicing a break down the walls that are keeping us from being the musician we want to be.
