Happy to Teach Upon Request
Teaching is about enthusiam and encoragement. I prefer to teach and lead by playing. Let us speak through our instruments.
My belief is that music belongs to everyone and to no one. Learning its language is just the beginning of the conversation with ourselves, with each other, and with the source. We are vessels.
Improvisation is a fundamental and should be started early. Let's start listening, feeling, trusting, connecting, and being in the present moment.
