In all cases, I believe in tailoring my teaching style to the student's age, ability level, personality, learning style, number of years of lessons so far, other preferences, etc. Read More

I believe that the key to a student's success in music is being motivated by passion. That is why I like to tailor each student's learning experience to their own individual interests, allowing them to press forward with the particular source of inspiration that motivates them to learn.
