Ukulele, Guitar, Piano, Songwriting
I have been working as a performer for over 25 years, and approach art-making with the same tools used by improv theater: active listening, eye contact, risk taking, starting with agreement and cooperation, having agency within your choices. I love creating a safe space where students can open up as much or as little as they like, and take the risk that is the right size for them.
