TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
I want all of my students to leave my studio as better educated, more compassionate, more open, and more emotionally equipped human beings. I am happy if my students want to pursue music as a career, (my students have been admitted to The Royal Conservatory, University of Michigan, Interlochen Arts High School, USC, Northwestern, and more). I am also happy if they are just want to learn more about piano or composition, or their favorite song.
I teach students of all ages and skill levels, and am open to all types of music, from film to video game to classical to pop. I am interested in how these genres connect and overlap. I integrate my students' interests in their lessons through piano performance repertoire and music compositions assignments.
The benefits of music lessons are astounding: they increase your IQ, language skills, test taking skills, concentration, emotional control, spatial-temporal skills, brain region communication, and on and on. But for me, the most important thing is that you get to work on a lifelong skill and build an appreciation and fluency in one of life's great joys, music.
Please include your name, age, any musical background, and if you have any goals with lessons.
