Teaching philosophy
I want my students to have a solid foundation in both technical skills and musicianship, and also to discover and play music that brings them joy. I encourage my students to listen critically and carefully, and I believe that communication is very important, so please share your thoughts and ask questions! I teach young beginners through adults at all levels. Everyone can learn to play if they are willing to practice mindfully!
