Our teaching philosophy

Teaching for musical independence, taste, and a lasting love of the craft

We want students to become musicians in their own right: thoughtful, capable, creative, and able to make music with confidence beyond the lesson room. Technique and reading matter, but they serve a bigger goal: forming people who love their craft and can fill the world with excellent music.

We also work to nurture each student's own love for music by placing beautiful, worthwhile repertoire in front of them, and by giving them music to listen to as well as music to play. Over time, that shapes not only skill, but musical taste, curiosity, and delight.

Guiding idea

"For a lifelong love of music"

What that looks like

  • Independent musicianship, not just lesson-to-lesson progress
  • Excellent repertoire that trains both the hands and the ear
  • Students growing in taste, confidence, and joy as musicians
