“I enjoy working with high school age students more than any other age. It鈥檚 a time when they are eager to learn new ideas and their brains are like sponges. They are trying to figure out who they are and what is important to them as they become adults.”

“Where else but music lessons can we discover, explore, experience that to work in solitude is to source, get to know, bring into conversation, affirm and learn to forge together the multiple, richly hued dimensions, forces, capacities, interests, curiosities, criticality, questions, voices we each are populated with? And through such, that the permeability of ourselves and others, changing environments and cultural contexts, sounds/songs distant and near (temporally and geographically), imagination and intellect can be in continual contact, play, circuitry, nourishment鈥s one of my teachers liked to say: 鈥淢aking music is to membrane with the world!鈥�
