Building on these core values, my teaching approach is both a personal journey and a collaborative adventure. I strive to create a warm, inclusive space where students feel comfortable taking risks, asking questions, and making mistakes. By blending rigorous technical instruction with interdisciplinary explorations—ranging from musicology and theory to psychology and stress reduction—I encourage students to see music not just as a skill to be mastered, but as a dynamic process of self-discovery. Humor, honesty, and a genuine curiosity about each student’s unique background infuse our interactions, fostering trust and empowering learners to tackle challenges with resilience and a growth mindset.

Looking ahead, my aspiration is to guide students toward a deep, personal connection with music that transcends mere performance. I envision a learning environment where artistic initiative flourishes, where students become their own teachers, and where cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary experiences enrich their artistry. Through continuous feedback, reflective practices, and real-world projects, I support students in developing not only technical proficiency but also the confidence and independence to craft their own musical narratives. Ultimately, my goal is to inspire a generation of musicians who approach their art—and life—with curiosity, empathy, and a commitment to lifelong growth.
