/ Suleimanu U.
I'm a photographer and filmmaker, with a background in Media and Communication. I have taught film/television and photography at the university for over a decade and have played music professionally in music bands for about 25 years. I'm passionate and skilled at teaching different age grades and skill levels. My goal is to teach my students how to play music creatively and identify their style of play, be innovative and enjoy what they do. I enjoy what I do and I do it with ease. I'm a patient teacher with good listening skills, always more than happy to support my students in achieving their learning goals.
