Teaching Philosophy
As a teacher, I believe music lessons should be more than just learning notes — they should build confidence, creativity, and a genuine love for making music. Every student learns differently, so I take a personalized approach that meets them where they are, helping them grow at their own pace while still being challenged and inspired. personalized instruction to meet each student's unique needs.
As both a performer and a parent, I understand the importance of patience, encouragement, and structure in helping kids thrive. My goal is to make lessons a positive, engaging space where students feel supported, excited, and proud of what they’re accomplishing.
