My training is a good fit for you if you are:

  • Tired of fixing the same thumb, wrist and elbow problems over and over again.
  • Disappointed at the slow progress of your students.
  • Mystified that students keep forgetting where to put their fingers.
  • Giving up on your beginners ever being able to hear and play in tune.

  • Overwhelmed with the decisions you need to make because you don’t have a clear plan.
