When I accept a new student in my studio, I ask them what their goals are in piano lessons and what they want to get out of it. It is my lifelong mission to set my students up for success and I tailor my lesson plans according to their goals and their musical progress. I pay close attention to their primary learning styles and helping them utilise this to their advantage. Read More

It is my belief that a teacher must be adaptive in order to create a positive experience for each student. For this reason, along with the lesson books, I prefer to help the student learn about what genre of music they are the most interested in.

I believe that the comments of the following parent sum up my teaching style: "Thank you for your patience, kindness and humor while teaching our two boys...and for being a great piano teacher!" (Minjae K.) "You have a great rapport with all your students—they are lucky indeed!" (Ann Y.) Read More
