Teaching Philosophy
I believe in inspiring a passion for music in my students by teaching them in a way that is creative, adaptive, engaging, and suited to their individual learning styles.
Why Teaching?
I love the satisfaction that teaching music gives me for many reasons: When a student understands a rhythm correctly or remembers what a musical term means, I share their excitement. When they begin exploring different music genres on their own, I feel overjoyed because I can see they have a real passion for music. Finally, having been a violin student myself for many years, I want to give back to the community by sharing my knowledge and love of music with others.
