I sent my resume out to many places, and took my first college job in Riyadh.

Here I learned the value of teamwork and critical feedback from my administration. Read More

I generally do not teach directly from a book. I only use them as guides. I always felt that was the lazy way of doing things. A book doesn't know the student.

I take pride in teaching the way that works best for you or your child. Read More

I try to make sure students can progress at their own pace based on their own skill level and experience with the instrument.

Like watering a flower it doesn't happen overnight the flower takes time to grow same with a piano student there needs to be incremental growth not overnight success. Read More
