I would like to inform little of music theory as needed for better understanding of music. Mainly I would focus on letting students make their goal and achieve it.

I will assign my student to read next part until we meet next lesson. Read More

My teaching style is goal-oriented and centers on positive reinforcement. This should be fun, not a chore.

Each student brings a unique perspective to the lesson room, which is what makes it so exciting for me. No two students are the same, which mean I can learn something from the student as well.

Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the students progress and gain a passion for the instrument.

I have been teaching from October 2016 to the present. Coming into college as a Music Performance major, I never imagined the amount of joy that would come along with teaching. My experience with teaching has always been it's ability to it connect and inspire people. Learning music has always helped my students to express their interests with others. With lessons, I usually recommend a regular practice schedule with guitar fundamentals because fundamentals should come as second nature in learning music. Read More
