I have a creative approach to motivate students to exceed their artistic ability by cultivating a musical way of playing with sensitive tone quality, and solid technique. I strive to make piano lessons a positive, fulfilling, and rewarding learning experience. To be a good teacher, one should have a special talent and love for teaching. Not every great concert pianist can be a good teacher. It is possible only if you truly dedicate yourself to your students. I understand the importance of developing a solid teacher-student relationship based on trust, mutual respect and care. My main goal while working with students is to build their self-confidence and to guide them toward their career goals and individual interests. I constantly research new teaching methods, which combined with my extensive studies and experience can suit the personality and learning styles of each student.
