Why I Work Well with Kids

I believe I work well with kids because I love being around them and I love being able to somehow be part of their development. I found one of the most fun and unique ways to do this is through music. I am also an extremely patient person and very curious to meet the best options for each student to reach their level of performance. I find the challenge of working with children each day to be one of my greatest motivators. It just makes me happy.
