Teaching philosophy

"As an educator, I believe music is an education and not a hobby.  I believe with the support of family and good teaching a student can learn and understand and enjoy music in a higher level of human virtue. 

 As an educator, I create a lesson that is interested in learning with listening, reading(understanding), playing with understanding. So the student can perform with confidence.  Through the process, it gives students a chance to present their voice and be accountable to what they have learned for life time."
