My Teaching Philosophy

After more than 17 years of teaching, my approach remains firm: every student has a voice and something valuable to say and contribute. My goal as a teacher is not to dictate what they should and should not do, but instead to advise and guide based on experience.

I want every student to become their own best teacher and to dive deeper into the process of goal setting, problem solving, and understanding the fundamentals of what they are doing. A student who feels confident in themselves, proud of the work they have done, and happy during the process is the goal — and we get there together through music.
