“Playing music produces a transcendent presence that can only be experienced through a deep mind, body, and spirit connection – which makes learning an instrument an ideal catalyst for growth of individuals and communities.”

“Music learning helps children develop fine motor skills, aids emotional and behavioral maturation, increases creativity, develops self-esteem, and most importantly engages students in a means of aesthetic expression.”

“My overarching goal in life has been to do as much as I can to improve the overall human condition during my brief existence.”

“Music is a word within itself, with a language we all understand.”
-Stevie Wonder

“Music starts in the womb with the beat of a heart and continues to enrich us throughout our lives. Teaching children to nurture that connection is my passion. Continuing to do this through Practicing Musician brings me an abundance of joy.”

“Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul.”

“Like a journey, music has the ability to take us places without moving an inch. It can transport us across time, cultures, emotions, and experiences – making it one of the most potent tools for understanding humanity.”

“Music is life itself.”
-Louis Armstrong
