TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
As a teacher, my goal is to inspire each student to fulfill his or her musical, artistic and expressive potential and to ingrain a lifelong appreciation and love for music and the piano. I believe that the skill of solving difficult musical and technical problems at the piano can be applied to many other aspects in life. Music is a self-empowering tool for creativity, and becoming proficient at any instrument can have wide ranging effects across the educational, mental, emotional, social, and physical aspects of our lives.
