First of all, I would ask the student if music would be his/her career or just a hobby. If it is to be his/her career, my approach would be more theoretical.

One of my strengths as a teacher is being able to adapt to wide variety of learning styles and skill levels. I don't teach all my students the exactly same way, because not all students learn in the same way. I am all about creating a fun, positive learning environment. I am proud of the fact that many of my students I have today I have had since I started teaching, and I think a big part of that is the relaxed but productive learning environment I strive to create.

I start my students with the basics proper hand positioning, finger strength exercises, and a focus on posture. These fundamentals are the building blocks that pave the way for a lifetime of musical growth.

Central to classical piano training is the standard repertoire, which offers a rich tapestry of musical history and a diverse range of challenges. Read More

My teaching experience dates back 5 years. I began teaching private lessons as a part time instructor , not only for instruments, but music theory as well.

Once the basics have been developed my mission is to adhere to each individual student's need, as nobody learns the same way. Read More

I use All for Strings, Suzuki, Klengel (scales) at the beginning level. I proceed to Concerto repertoire, Popper, Dotzauer etc. The usual classical repertoire.

I have a very effecient practice style that I have developed on my own and am quite proud of. Teaching is my life and it makes me happy to see students improve. Read More
