My teaching experience began during my college years, and I have been teaching private music lessons for over seven years across various cities, including Seattle, Boston, and Evanston. I focus on creating a personalized and supportive environment for each student, helping them develop a love for music while building their confidence and skills. I believe that incorporating a mix of classical pieces and contemporary music can greatly enhance students' enjoyment and motivation. In my lessons, I also emphasize the importance of consistent practice to help students achieve their goals and make meaningful progress. I encourage my students to participate in recitals, competitions, and even explore composing their own music to celebrate their achievements and inspire a lifelong passion for music.

For young beginners, I love incorporating fun activities and interactive methods to make learning engaging and enjoyable. I use creative exercises to introduce musical concepts and build a strong technical foundation while keeping the lessons playful and age-appropriate. As students progress, I introduce solo pieces that match their skill level, helping them prepare for their first recitals with confidence. For adult students, I take a more personalized approach, finding out their musical interests and tailoring lessons to keep them motivated—whether it's learning classical pieces, popular songs, or exploring improvisation. My goal is always to make lessons a fun and fulfilling experience for everyone!
