Piano Teaching Philosophy

My teaching is guided by the idea that students learn best when they feel supported, challenged, and understood. My goal is to help every kid and adult student not only enjoy playing the piano but also build a strong foundation in technique and musical understanding. I aim to help my students develop their own sustainable and long-term learning habits that will enable them to explore and improve on their own, even outside of lessons. I emphasize the importance of a regular practice routine and the communication of expectations between me and my students.
