TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I'm an elementary music teacher in Dallas, TX where I teach Kinder-5th grade general music, sponsor an after school choir, lead an after school percussion ensemble, and maintain a private piano studio.

MY TEACHING STYLE

My style is a blend of Orff and Kodaly with some elements of Dalcroze infused. I am very heavy on theory and understanding musical vocabulary.
