I have my special teaching method "PPP" which refers to "Passionate, Personal and Professional". "Passionate" - I believe that music should help people find the beauty and happiness in their lives; "Personal" - Teaching should be very personal! Everyone has a different background and we are all unique! I always custom lesson plans for each of my students and we could discuss about your personal plan; "Professional" - No matter if you are learning music for fun or you have a goal in pursuing music as a career, I would always teach and help the students to improve the musicianships under the professional standard.
