Value #1:
Instructor Presence

Studies show that greater faculty engagement and presence positively impact student retention and satisfaction.

I want my students to know that I’m an actual person, and have a face with a name.

Value #2:
Student Engagement

My music classes provide many opportunities for students to engage with their peers and step outside their comfort zones.

Value #3:
Structure & Clear Expectations

Students succeed when there is structure and clear expectations. I am consistent: the layout is the same every week, the expectations are the same, and I do what I say I will do.
