private lessons


Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens. If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play it, they develop sensitivity, discipline, and endurance. They get a beautiful heart.
— Dr. Shinichi Suzuki

Teaching philosophy

I believe music holds value in everyone’s life, though its role is unique for each student—whether as a professional pursuit, a creative outlet, a source of discipline, or a way to connect with others. My goal is to meet students where they are, supporting their growth through a strong technical foundation that, in return, allows freedom for musical expression.

I am inspired by the mentors who shaped my own musical journey and the lasting impact they had on my life, and I strive to offer that same encouragement and guidance to my students. Music allows us to express our deepest emotions and ideas, creating meaningful connections that transcend words; it teaches us about communication, empathy, discipline, and our relationships with others and ourselves. I aim to provide a safe, supportive space where students can discover new things about themselves through music. I strive to guide students toward becoming confident, independent musicians and, above all, to cultivate a positive and supportive learning environment that encourages curiosity, resilience, and a lasting love for their instrument.
