I am a person who believes in teaching music to all ages. Through teaching I am hoping that I inspire students to follow their dreams on trying to achieve their goals in life. As a teacher I hope to gain the trust of my students by being the person that can help them progress forward in a chosen music career. I take pride in what I do. Hopefully I can encourage others to do the same.
I began my teaching career as a private lesson teacher in 2000. Then I advanced into the private schools from grades k-12 from 2001-2003. During this time I taught children that had special needs. They became one of my best students. I taught in public schools as well in 2008. I did private lessons for six years in between from 2003-09.
As a teacher,I teach based on a students needs. Teaching methods are developed according to the weak areas in where a student needs to improve. Once i observed the problem a method is then developed. I can used methods from teaching books or create my own method. All methods are not the same for individual students. Observation is the key to a successful method.
Well I try to be upbeat and friendly. I try to get to know my students and their problems with the instruments. Once I find the problem ,a plan is then created for the student. Also I might have students coming from different places or cultures. So my style of teaching comes from learning my student goals and needs.

Even though I want to play songs write away, Walter emphasizes the importance of creating piano scale drills with both hands, and it is working. Timing is everything!!!
