Teaching

Experience

Skye's teaching experience includes private and group instruction in violin and piano, youth symphony coaching, music and movement classes, songwriting, general music, and directing a children's choir. Skye has studied string methods and orchestral pedagogy independently with David Upham and String Pedagogy with Rictor Noren. Outside of teaching music, Skye has gained invaluable experience from teaching ballet and overnight camp counseling at Wanakee. 

Philosophy

Music has the power to instill lifelong values of accountability, self-discipline, determination, team-work, and creativity. My goal is to teach my students how to love themselves through their craft. Teaching begins with learning the goals, needs, and interests of a student and my goal is to foster an environment where the student feels safe to explore their own capabilities and continually grow as an artist and person.
