My philosophy of music education is two-fold. First, music lessons teach problem-solving skills that can be applied to all of life's challenges: clear thinking, a step-by-step approach, discipline and perseverance applied to a highly-detailed goal. Second, practicing classical music on any instrument cultivates a sensitivity that seems to be rarer and rarer in today's world. Our culture prizes production values over content, but classical music is just the opposite: no slick packaging, just inherent beauty and excellence. And today's music students are tomorrow's audiences as well as performers -they are stewards of a precious legacy. I feel a deep responsibility to pass on this legacy, and find my greatest joy in helping kids and adults discover the ineffable delights of classical music.
