In my workshops I make it a point to treat each group as its own group and each student according to their own interests. I am both strict and encouraging, and make sure everyone leaves the workshop with all of the necessary skills to continue on their own. Over the course of 2020 and 2021, I have expanded my teaching to online teaching as well, offering limited availability in private lessons, as well as a few workshops each year through various institutions.
