Let's Make Music Together

My journey as a music educator is deeply rooted in my multifaceted experience as an artist, producer, engineer, and lifelong student of music. I believe that music is a universal language — one that transcends boundaries and empowers students to express themselves authentically.

As a music teacher, my goal is simple yet profound: to ignite a lifelong love and joy for music in every student. Whether in a K-12 classroom or a college-level lecture hall, I aim to create an inclusive, engaging, and culturally rich environment where every learner feels seen, heard, and inspired.

I move beyond traditional Western-centric music education, embracing a global perspective. My students explore a wide variety of musical traditions — from African drums and Latin rhythms to Indian classical scales and the evolution of hip-hop and rock. I believe in celebrating diversity and using music as a lens to understand cultural identity, history, and social change.

In my classroom, students are at the center of the learning experience. I embrace differentiated instruction to meet learners where they are, offering hands-on exploration, performance opportunities, and critical listening activities. I encourage every student to find their voice, embrace creativity, and discover their personal musical path.
