My teaching philosophy centers around fostering strong and lasting relationships with my students, enabling them to feel supported and motivated as they progress in their musical journeys. These connections often begin when my students are as young as 5 or 6 years old and continue to thrive throughout their formative years. I feel immensely gratified to have been an integral part of their growth and development, and it is a true honor to witness their achievements as they ultimately pursue their college education and embark on new chapters of their lives.

I always make sure my students and their parents have realistic expectations when they start taking music lessons. For instance, violin is a difficult instrument to play and it can take months of practice to play a simple tune.

I request the parents of young (5-7 years old) students to be present during the lesson as often as possible. Read More

I bring this professional knowledge of auditioning, performing, and the business of showbiz to benefit my students at whatever stage they are on in their musical journey. Read More

I treat all my students as (young) adults, and that means treating them with respect and understanding to the utmost degree. Read More
