My goal is that when I'm teaching; the student feel happy. I believe that when the student in happy he/she is having fun. There is no problem to have fun when you are learning something new, the person enjoy more and they get interest of taking new challenges.

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Flute Piccolo

My teaching style really focuses around developing a love for your instrument. If the student loves their instrument and the music that is written for their instrument, they will feel encouraged to practice. I try to pick up on the student's personality and learning styles and make each person's lesson a combination of my teaching styles and what works best for the student. Once we find the routine and groove that works for the both the student and myself, then the learning should come along easily and fun. Read More

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

The most rewarding thing is to start a new student-wherever their abilities are- and watch their passion for music and musical abilities grow. The most rewarding thing to me is when I see something that a student has struggled with "click" and they master it and move on. I encourage students through every lesson and each process of learning piano. I strive to keep it at a pace that is neither too fast or too slow for the students, all while keeping the lessons fun.
