    My Educational Philosophy

    My philosophy of education is that all children are unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. Music is one of the many paths that students can engage in to help in the growth of all four areas. It is my desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their full potential at the same time as learning to appreciate and love music. I will provide a safe environment where students are invited to share their ideas, take risks and develop their musical potential.
