TFMS Instrumental Music Director: RM 550
As a musician, my philosophy on teaching is to assist, help, educate and spark curiosity in a student so that they truly love music. I believe that everyone has the physical capability of becoming a musician of some kind, it’s the enthusiasm of someone that makes musicians. I want all of my students to have fun, look forward to playing their instrument, learn to experiment with sound, be entertained, practice dedication and focus, and not be afraid to take a chance. As a music director, I am simply a guide to encourage the imagination of the students so they can continually reach new musical aspirations.
