Describe your approach to teaching
My approach to teaching is individually tailored to every student I teach. I like to foster a friendly and supportive learning atmosphere. We work hard but have fun too! 

What inspires your own work?
My love of the recorder and its repertoire.  It is also incredibly rewarding seeing students develop their skills and gain confidence as we work together.
