My main priority in every lesson is to make learning an instrument fun and comfortable. I have a plan mapped out for every lesson, for every student. Depending on the student's age, level and preference of genre, I pick out books suitable for each student, and also ask the student to bring in a piece or book they would like to work on. I find it important to make every lesson enjoyable, so it is crucial that the student enjoys the homework assigned when they leave the lesson. Read More

My earliest experience in teaching goes back to the time when I began my own education in musicology. It was a very fruitful time in my life, since I was a student myself and was further enriched by learning the art of how to teach other human beings the beauty of music. As soon as I received more and more students, I felt a demand to refine my technique of music teaching and become an expert in effective communication for the purpose of transferring and sharing whatever is essential to be taught to students.

I have been teaching music since about 1999 and during that time have had students of different ages and walks of life. I tailor each lesson according to the student's abilities or interests, and emphasize learning proper practicing techniques, as well as music theory. Lessons should be fun and use different methods or games to make the time enjoyable. As a multi instrumentalist, I've been able to see music instruction through several lenses which is useful in drawing a musical picture for students. Read More

More than anything, I want to help my students grow their love for music in any way I can, and that might be different for everyone but that should be the priority. Read More
