TEACHING PHILOSOPHY 

My goals in teaching music include fostering the understanding of music as well as the reproductions and creation of it. 

My aim is to introduce music as an enjoyable, integral part of my student’s life. I have a far-reaching view of enriching my student’s life through musical accomplishments. I help them to cultivate a love for a good music, and I look carefully to their musical aims and interests and keep their total personality in view. 

My goals are to make home practice more enjoyable and creative, to give to my students a good understanding of the concept of music, a solid technical development and a concept of playing sensitively and expressively, as well as to motivate them to perform in concerts, auditions and festivals.

My music lessons are fun, happy, successful and memorable experience. I introduce the play element wherever possible, and also creativity,  imagination,  comprehension,  logical understanding, positive attitude and habits, humor and perseverance. I give to my students the desire to perform and to do their best. I help them to concentrate and be well organized, to appreciate music and to get over little difficulties. 

My musicianship approach includes areas of understanding such as history, theory, ear training, music reading, composing and creating.
