How I Work
Listening carefully, preparing consistently, and learning through collaboration.
I prepare carefully, listen before contributing, and work steadily toward a shared goal. Ensemble playing has taught me that knowing my own part matters just as much as listening to the musicians around me.
I am continuing to build confidence in speaking up and taking the lead. Music, teaching, and collaborative projects give me opportunities to practise both.
