I also offer a variety of low pressure performance opportunities for my students and have been pleased to help many students prepare for successful recitals, college and scholarship auditions, participation in school and community ensembles and to continue to play the guitar for years - whether as enthusiastic amateurs or professional musicians themselves!! I am also confident teaching neurodiverse students who experience learning disabilities or visual/aural impairments as well as with English language learners and international students.

Music instruction also appears to accelerate brain development in young children, particularly in the areas of the brain responsible for processing sound, language development, speech perception and reading skills - USC
