Approach to Teaching
Take time to establish a framework that acknowledges the student of who they are and then create a mindful process that inspires each student to begin to take ownership of what they are creating and how they express themselves on this adventure of music and life. No matter what happens, whether you soar or stumble, everyone is worthy to be who they are. You are Awesome! Thank you for being YOU!
Mr. Paul looks forward to the privilege of connecting and creating a unique musical experience with each student/family. You are invited to check out one of my websites: regalmonster.com (AKA Calming the Practice Monster!)

The importance of being mindfully present in the now while celebrating the whole student. You are AWESOME just because you are. Not because of what you do or do not do! Your imagination is your limitation in life. You should have no limits when it comes to your imagination. However there is value in having a process that Acknowledges and Inspires you to dream, to reach for the Stars, to “Find A Kind Way to Be, To Be Who You Are!”
