I would like to inform little of music theory as needed for better understanding of music. Mainly I would focus on letting students make their goal and achieve it.

I will assign my student to read next part until we meet next lesson. Read More

For my adult students, I try to find out what they are interested in and guide my teaching accordingly to make lessons exciting and fun, regarding their skill level. Read More
