I have been playing the piano since the age of 8. I always loved learning new music and I try to pass that love on to my students. I work with them to practice efficiently and to bring out the best in them. I love working with adults as well as children and about half of my class are adults. I try to have a good sense of humor with all my students. Read More

Instruments: Piano Flute

In my 30 years of teaching experience, and being exposed to many methods, I chose to mix and match them to each student's ability and disposition. Each student is different with variety of expectations, abilities and interests, so as I get to know them, I try to best cater to their needs and find ways for them to learn while growing and improving on every level, not just musically. Engaging students in variety of ways of learning (visual, auditory, etc), I also care of their personal stories, which I find brings great connection and makes learning much more fun for my students as they feel heard.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar

My teaching style is fun and relaxed but still making sure that you are learning something new in every class, I was a beginner at some point and it brings me joy seeing how the students discover the guitar for the first time because it reminds me of myself when I was just learning. I help set realistic goals to keep the student motivated and guide the student to reach small achievements every week so they can see how fast they can progress with private classes. Read More
