WHY I TEACH MUSIC
I love music
I want my students to find the same enjoyment in music that I do
I want to provide encouragement and a caring environment
I want students to take pride in their accomplishments
Music is beauty and enriches our lives in many ways
Music is a discipline; practice makes students better musicians, and they can apply the discipline that they learn to their other endeavors
I want to help my students to play for their own pleasure, as much as the pleasure of others
I enjoy seeing my students master new ideas and concepts
