TEACHING

PHILOSOPHY

My teaching is rooted in building strong technical foundations, while fostering curiosity, creativity confidence, and personal connection to music.

I work with a diverse range of students — from young beginners to adult learners to aspiring professionals — guiding them toward discovering their unique musical voice.

To me, music is more than just mastering repertoire; it’s a powerful way to reflect who we are. In my studio, learning is both joyful and challenging, and every student is empowered to reach their full potential in their own unique way.
