Adaptive music instruction for families, and expertise for the programs that serve them.
Adaptive private lessons
In-home lessons for students who learn differently.
I've taught students with IEPs, autism, ADHD, anxiety, and a wide range of learning differences. My lessons aren't about drilling technique. They're about finding what makes music click for each student.
I travel to your home, so your student learns where they're most comfortable.
