“I feel
that it is important to make high quality instruction available to all
students. This is why I keep a studio at Allegro Music in Fremont.
While I have had some very serious students here, the majority are
causal players hoping to improve and make their school music
experience more enjoyable. I think this is a wonderful thing. I am
very reasonable with casual students in terms of practice requirements
and if a student is serious, I’m there with the experience to help
that student achieve his or her goals.”
