I have been teaching for over 25 years. I have 5 children of my own who are all musicians. I have studied pedagogy at the University of Illinois and have also studied the Suzuki method.

The best reward is for my students to have fun learning. I always try my best and adapt to my student's learning ability. Every student I have taught was different at grasping the fundamentals.
