Each student is an individual first. Therefore, I create an individualized plan and approach for each student. It's also important to understand and master the fundamentals first, so each student will have a proper route carved out specifically for them in terms of what exactly needs to be worked on and improved. This will also develop self-awareness in the student, so that they can have the opportunity to take ownership of the lesson and their progress on the instrument. Read More

I began teaching privately three years ago after earning both of my BM degrees from the University of Connecticut. Many students I have taught have numerous activities such as ensembles, sports teams, church, and other commitments. This is why I encourage students to practice daily with efficient techniques so they are able to continue to improve during their busy schedules. Also, I make an effort for my students to have fun in their lessons while having constructive criticism so the students are not discouraged and stay engaged. Read More

Also performing in concerts gives them goals to work for so I try to have my students to perform at some assisted living places and more several times a year and the more they perform usually the better they improve. It can be encouraging to see that others make mistakes too and that noone is perfect. I like students to learn how to read as soon as they can, but I honor the suzuki idea that it is good to learn to play the first few pieces by ear so listening does not get lost in learning to read.
