There are two things you need in order to learn a skill.

1) Determination. Vision. A plan. “Stick-to-itiveness.”

2) A teacher knowledgeable and flexible enough to understand where you are in your journey and plot your next step.

Your next step…
(or first step)
is right here.

Contact me and we’ll make a plan for your own journey. If you’re curious what kind of teacher I am, feel free to read my little blog of articles or about my pedagogy.

Please use this form below and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. If you’re interested in lessons, the most important things I need to know are:

  • Your location. I have a studio in Canandaigua, NY, and a studio at the Kanack School in Brighton, NY. I can accommodate online lessons for students with a fiber optic connection.

  • Your experience. None is perfectly okay!

  • Your age. “Adult” is a perfectly fine answer here. I accept students who are at least 5 years old.

  • Your goals. This doesn’t have to be anything grand, but this helps me find out whether I can be effective for you, or maybe there are questions I can answer for you.
