SWIFTBASSOON STUDIO
Welcome to my education page! Here you will find information regarding my teaching philosophy, pedagogic points of emphasis and instruction, and frequently asked questions as including session rate information.
Music education is incredibly important, and is one of the best ways to teach our students about self expression. Private instruction, to me, is twofold an extension of school-time music education and targeted supplemental instruction. I focus on ensuring that my students are comfortable, confident, not worried about mistakes, and focus on having fun playing above all else through the preparation and curriculum that we study together.
I seek to promote equitable access to students of all backgrounds and experiences, short and long term musical goals, and providing high quality bassoon reeds. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any other questions!
