Her strength is in teaching young and intermediate players the love and fun side of music while emphasizing the importance of technique and disciplined practice. Her students are performance oriented and generally go on to play professionally with orchestras across the country. Jane's second love is teaching adults. Her philosophy is that anyone can learn to play an instrument proficiently at any age with proper instruction, practice and a strong desire to do so. Many of Jane's adult students achieve performance level abilities and can be seen playing around town at weddings, gallery hops and festivals. |
