I am a passionate and motivated performer and teacher who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. Performing all over the world has been one of the greater experiences of my life as a musician, and I have had the opportunity to perform both at the Carnegie Hall's Stern Auditorium as well as at the Kennedy Center. As a teacher, I have taught since 2008 and have numerous students in different states as well as countries.
My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time about 6 years ago. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key point I like to emphasize for all students, as it helps the student to progress and gain a passion for the instrument.
Each students needs a different approach. Some understand things differently than others, and its the teachers responsibility to analyze and exploit the best approach in order to achieve success.
My style of teaching revolves around a solid foundation in technique and proper ways to practice. This is the hardest part about having music lessons, because its all about muscle memory. I advise learning the basics before jumping straight into learning pieces. It's very important to play the right way, and more importantly, practice the right way. Another thing that I teach is that failure is not bad in itself, but its only part of the process that lets a student know what to work on. Many times, failure is a result of certain muscles and movements not being trained yet, and not something that is out of reach. When learning how to play an instrument, patience is a must.
