Joshua Giveans

As a music educator, my teaching philosophy is focused on developing a love and enthusiasm for music while laying a strong foundation of technical skills and musical knowledge. Every student, has the capacity to develop musically, and it is my responsibility to support and encourage them along their musical path. I work hard to foster a welcoming and encouraging learning environment where kids feel free to express themselves and take chances. Since I understand that each student learns differently and at their own pace, I believe in adapting my teaching method to fit their individual needs and learning preferences.
