Music Education first and foremost!

Happy that one of my late elementary school students is learning to observe accents!

Sad that a middle school student quit because she thought voice lessons would be more like American Idol.

I believe that it is my role to give students a solid foundation as part of a musical education. It may be fun for kids to sing to a favorite recording artist, and focus on trying to sound like a particular artist, but that is not music education. And, it is not developmentally appropriate practice.

Music education first and foremost!
