"Teaching children is not only one of the most important responsibilities I have as a musician, but is also incredibly rewarding and inspiring. Growing up, I was fortunate to have teachers that were not only mentors but also family to me. These relationships profoundly influenced me both as an artist and a human being and continue to be an inspiration in my life. Now it is my turn to pass on that spirit to the next generation of artists."
