Style of teaching
My philosophy of teaching is, allowing students to learn at their own pace and become independent thinkers. I believe in establishing a good relationship with students and their families from the very first lesson. The curriculum I use, meets each student where they are and aims to motivate them to learn and grow as musicians. Since I have students from many different nationalities, I have developed an individualized style of teaching, in order to match each student’s unique needs, interests and learning pace.
