For beginners, I generally start with Suzuki, Hal Leonard's Essentiel Elements or Grant's Fundamentals of Violoncello Technique. For intermediate levels, I work on solo reperory of my student's preference/my suggestion.
A teacher is a very important role model for the young generation. As an open minded teacher, I would like to inspire and courage the students with the healing power of the music. I would like to motivate them and prove how their talents can help achieving their goals and change their lives. This is my career ambition and dream.
She is very good and is knowledgable. I love how professional yet personable. I love that she explains things and gives me homework. She's also flexible with my schedule as I can not afford to pay as much right now.
