Teaching Philosophy
Carissa believes in always putting students first. A good education of any kind is built around an end goal of the student becoming the master, therefore Carissa tries to teach students to be self-sufficient and proactive. She strives to instill confidence, good character, and work ethic in her students so they can become great people in and out of music.
