Much of my teaching philosophy centers around Howard Garner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences. We all learn in different ways and my role as a teacher is to help each individual student find his or her best path and learning style.
What is your learning style?

A lovely idea for weekend practice!

Tomorrow's practice-happyness is based on Ravel's gorgeous Ma mère l'Oye. It is the lovely Pavane of Sleeping Beauty.
Please give it all you've got. Capture the sweetness of tone, the innocence, the dream, the tenderness and the love contained in this captivating melody. Feel love within when you play music, it is the only way. Be grateful for music in your life. You never know what's going to happen in life, so live the present moment at its fullest. Let your music practice bring joy everyday, at any level, anywhere, everywhere. No matter what difficulties life brings upon you, there's always a light somewhere.
Have a great weekend !
