My teaching style, which has developed by training so many students through the years, is based on thorough communication, clarification of any technical difficulties, and making all kinds of music playable and accessible to students. Analysis of any obstacle in a piece of music, and solving any technical difficulties patiently, communicating and encouraging them to practice on a regular basis, and finally looking at the entire process of learning as a fun experience, devoid of tension or pressure, or coercion have been a large part of my job and teaching style.

My teaching is heavily influenced with my background and experience with the Suzuki method, particularly pertaining to listening, repetition, and immersion. Music is something to practice as if learning another language, as it is another form of expression! Although I use Suzuki books and repertoire in my lessons, I structure and customize lessons plans, tailoring to each individual student. I also like to have students pick something that they want to learn, whether it be a theme from "Lord of the Rings" or "Hoedown", in order to retain intrinsic motivation. Read More
