My teaching philosophy is grounded in individuality-- I believe that everyone who chooses to study music has something unique to say. It is my role as an educator to facilitate and motivate each pupil in finding his or her artistic voice, developing a formidable technique, understanding the theory behind a musical composition, and striving for proficiency on the instrument and in performance. So many have said that genius is diligence, and I am of the opinion that anyone and everyone, with the support of a passionate teacher, can be a great pianist if they are dedicated to practicing.
