The essence of my teaching comes from the faith and love that exist inside music and students' potential. Music is the universal language that has a powerful connection to every aspect of life, and I believe anyone can build relationship through music. In the diverse universe we live, music provides unity, liveliness, hope, and love to connect to a different world and people. I want to inspire, encourage, and help students who will connect others through music. Read More

When I can get students passionately and freely expressing themselves, without hesitations, inhibitions, or apologies, I feel I have liberated the master artist that dormant within each of us.

Instruments: Voice

I love teaching because singing became such an important part of my life after I started taking lessons.

I do believe in the importance of technique, however, and so try to encourage students to do short vocal exercises daily. What is most important to me is that my students are singing pieces that they enjoy and connect with. Read More
