While I'm very new at teaching music, I have many years of experience in teaching in general. I've been pretty successful as a private math tutor since 2009, and more recently I've also been tutoring in ACT prep, SAT, prep, and C++. I'm very glad to be transitioning to music, since that is a topic I'm very passionate about. I love so many things about teaching, and I can't wait to see how they transfer to music lessons.

To me it is very important to balance the technical and creative aspects of development. No matter what age/skill level I split time during lessons into activities that develop technique and language, and compositional, creative activities that help each student explore their instrument and what they have to say with it.

I also encourage students to bring in songs that they want to learn/play along with to keep the lessons relevant to their musical interests. Read More

I carefully watch and listen to my students' progress. If the material selection seems hard, I encourage him/her to take such material at a later time.

As a result, I adapted myself to the level and age of my students wishes and goals. Read More
