As a passionate classical pianist, my teaching philosophy centers around fostering curiosity in music. I aim to create a supportive and inspiring learning environment that will encourage students to explore their musical potential while focusing on building a solid foundation in technique and musicality. I tailor my approach to each student’s unique needs, helping them enrich their minds as pianists and, more importantly, as individuals.
