Instruments: Voice Music

Scientifically speaking, our brains are trained to be "goal achievers". Thus, I always ask my students what three goals we need to work on before my lesson begins.

Therefore, I give my students a very friendly, safe, and open-minded environment to express their emotion. Read More

For beginning students who are children, I typically like to start with rudiments and technique studies.

My general pedagogical goal is to set students up with lessons that can be interpreted to other parts of life. Learning discipline, focus, problem solving skills, awareness, and interpretation in the practice room is useful in every aspect of life.

Each student is different and has different goals; by trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
