Teaching Philosophy

 

My primary goal as a teacher is to inspire a growth mindset, a love for music, and a strong musical foundation in my students. I aim to equip them with the skills and knowledge needed for continued success, while nurturing their musical expressivity and confidence. Ultimately, my goal is to teach myself out of a job by fostering independence and helping students develop their inner teacher and musician.

I encourage students to put forth their best effort and focus on learning effective strategies for practice, performance, and personal growth—skills that extend beyond the piano and into other areas of life.

I also strive to be a positive role model and mentor, demonstrating the discipline, dedication, and passion I hope to inspire in my students.

​

I believe the teacher-student relationship is vital to success, and I work to maintain a supportive and nurturing connection with my students. I set attainable goals, provide honest feedback, and create a space where questions and concerns are always welcomed—even outside of lesson time.

The best way to determine if we are a good fit is to schedule an audition and interview. I look forward to guiding you on your musical journey!
