Teaching Philosophy

At my studio, I work with families and students to nurture artistic ability and creative thinking into skills that transcend music. Each student has unique strengths and goals. I take time to understand who my students are so I can guide them toward who they want to become—as people and as musicians.

I provide an environment that is both safe and challenging, allowing students to explore boundaries and exchange ideas freely. In return, I expect quality practice. Practice is each student's investment in their own growth. With family support and expert guidance, any student who commits to consistent, effective practice will find no obstacle insurmountable.

Students receive weekly practice checklists and can reach out for feedback anytime throughout the week. They're encouraged to record their practice in a journal to stay organized and aligned with both parents and teacher.
