Philosophy

Lyndsay believes that encouraging curiosity while taking increasing risks are essential to a successful student experience at any age. She empowers her students to remain compassionate towards their own strengths, challenges, and learning styles as a musician while they gain autonomy and build their “toolbox” of skills. This is supported by using a combination of precise musical terminology and abstract imagery. In order for her students to find and foster their unique voices as artists, Lyndsay engages them in ongoing self-evaluation and reflection exercises as well as creating their own definitions of success and excellence.
