• Music theory & ear training (sight-reading, rhythm, harmony etc.)

• Creativity (improvisation & beginning composition)

​

Teaching Approach

Every student learns differently. I design a personalized lesson plan with clear goals, age-appropriate materials, and weekly practice guidance. My style is warm, encouraging, and structured—balancing fundamentals with the students' passion to play so that practice becomes a habit, not a chore.

Results Parents & Students Appreciate

Students develop strong reading skills, confidence, deep understanding of music fundamentals (rhythm, pitch, harmony, form, dynamics, tempo, phrasing, scales, chords, scales etc.),  expressive playing—along with perseverance, focus, and stage poise. Many participate in recitals, school performances, college exams and graded exams at a pace that matches their goals.
