I believe that all students have the right to achieve their potential. 

I believe that students should have the right to an environment conducive to learning.

I believe that all students, regardless of race, gender identity, ethnicity, sexuality, or socioeconomic status should have the opportunity to learn. 

I believe that music should be accessible to students and people of all ages and learning levels.

I believe that music is not an ‘innate ability’, but a passion and skill acquired through exposure and experience.

I work for the opportunity to share breakthrough moments with students and help facilitate a passion for music.

I believe that music provides an opportunity to teach lifelong lessons.
