While most beginning students respond well to the Suzuki method, I also incorporate elements of traditional (namely note-reading) and Dalcroze methods (namely movement, improv, and aural skills) in my teaching. I am also experienced in preparing students for auditions and examinations, such as the Royal Conservatory of Music examination in Canada and ABRSM in the UK.

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Keyboard
I have experience teaching all levels and genres and change my teaching to what is best suited for the learner. With piano students I enjoy using John Thompson and Alfred methods for beginners and I choose different songs as students get more experience. For voice students I use simple songs to develop their vocal technique. Through effective warmups and reading, students will develop musicianship skills. I focus on technique development through music learning. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Violin, Viola
For my string students I teach music theory only if requested, as many don't have access to pianos/keyboards at home so they can understand harmony, chord progressions etc. Without a keyboard understanding harmonic progressions can be very challenging. Experience has taught me that the joy of music comes only to those who get a solid foundation and knowledge. Many students begin with great enthusiasm, only to get frustrated after a while when they find themselves stuck year after year with beginner level music. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Drums, Orchestral Percussion
(Available to bring a drum set to students' homes.) My teaching style caters to the mental constitution of the individual students. However, the lessons themselves generally go around and about the same way. Students are required to bring notebooks, sticks, and a pad. The quality of these items matters not, but their presence are essential. I talk, my students drum, I demonstrate, my students drum more. It's a relationship of show and explain. Read More
