I believe that music education is a vital and enriching part of the human experience. I strive to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment where students can explore, appreciate, and engage with music. I believe in fostering a lifelong love for music, whether students choose to perform, compose, or simply enjoy listening. My pedagogical approach emphasizes not only technical proficiency but also critical thinking, creativity, and emotional expression. Ultimately, my goal is to nurture well-rounded individuals who appreciate the transformative power of music.
In our music class, students can expect an engaging and dynamic learning experience that explores a wide range of musical genres and cultures. We will focus on developing fundamental skills in rhythm, melody, and harmony through activities like singing, playing instruments, and creative projects. Our class emphasizes collaboration to enhance their teamwork and communication skills. Students will also have opportunities to explore music history, theory, and appreciation, broadening their understanding of music's role in society. Whether you are a budding performer or simply enjoy music, our class will help each student discover and cultivate unique musical talents.
In my free time, I prioritize health and wellness by practicing and instructing Modern Pilates, taking long walks with my dog, Cooper, and enjoying the delicious restaurants throughout San Diego with my boyfriend, Levi. If you have any recommendations I am always looking for new places to try!
