Music Grows Here : 2025–26 Learning Opportunities
Musical development is a personal journey, shaped by each student’s taste, learning styles, experience and goals. This year’s offerings from Inner Sound provide a number of pathways - including private lessons, group workshops, and flexible feedback options - to support musicians of all levels in a fun and fulfilling year of growth.
I work with students from all walks of life—from complete beginners to working professionals—helping each person build a solid foundation while exploring their own voice through music. I teach saxophone, clarinet, piano and flute with specialties in improvisation, songwriting, music theory, and recording.
