I believe that discovering and cultivating music should be a joyful experience. Every student is unique and deserves to be taught in a way that resonates with them. I enjoy finding and creating new ways to explain similar concepts to different learning styles and personalities.

I strive for each of my students to discover their own inner creativity and love for music through comprehensive musical knowledge. I apply analytical/theoretical skills, and historical perspective in my lessons to help students deeply engage with musical material and compositions from a broader perspective; helping them to ultimately mature into dedicated and disciplined artists and scholars.

My central goal as an educatior is to tailor my teaching to students' individual goals and needs. Within this, I consistently encourage my students to express and communicate their ideas, to create their music with imagination, and to develop their own voice. I approach my work with students with a committed, patient and positive attitude to help them reach their individual goals.

I teach through historical, harmonic, creative, and technical inquiry, aiming to inspire intellectual curiosity and musical growth in my students. I tailor my approach to the student’s personality, and articulate the most efficient path to achieve their goals. The development of artistic independence and self-aware listening are cornerstones of a developing musician.

I believe an instructor should be a mentor and an encourager. A mentor takes "teacher" one step further by adding a layer of trust--one who safely guides based on similar past experiences. As an encourager, I hope to stimulate students to action.

Each student is unique and special. With the trust, the teacher and the student can find the best way to learn and improve. Learning music is not just receiving new information, but having a good communication with yourself and with others.

I believe that teaching music is to teach students a discipline that would benefit them throughout their lives. I hope to bring passion and love for the music to their journey no matter where they are in the world. Music connects us all.

Music is the aural manifestation of the soul, a centrifugal force that echoes within us all. By seeking perfection in music, we eventually learn to perceive and react to the world around us with a healthy, altruistic disposition. Our journey together will unravel the mysteries of classical music and piano- playing with the hope that one day, you will be able to enrich people's lives through your art.

I want my students to have fun and to feel knowledgeable and empowered by that knowledge. I believe it's my job to be adaptable, to say things as many ways as necessary, until the student understands. I am a guide helping the student to discover and express her/himself and to have the skills to do so with confidence, in whatever genre they choose.

My goal is to help my students achieve their artistic excellence in piano playing. During the lesson, I will work on finger exercise, ear training, theory and musicality to help my students understand music with different aspects.

As a musician and educator I am interested in my students as individuals and how their diverse background plays out in their music making process. Love of music, proper technique, understanding of what's between the "notes", knowledge of stylist traits, as well as curiosity are all important pillars of my teaching.

To study the piano is to study yourself. It is a combination of how you listen, how you move, how you think, and how you feel - all applied as one. To learn the piano is to learn patience; to ask ourselves the right questions in the name of progress.

Piano teacher is not only offering professional advice, also emotional support as a “life-companion”. While students encounter difficulties in study, as a teacher, I should help them solve practical issues in playing, more essentially fostering their ability of facing and tackling problems. I believe that the one of goals for teaching is to transform those good qualities formed throughout piano study, like self-discipline, creative thinking and concentration etc, into our daily life.

I teach to develop musicianship but also to help establish balanced minds in my students. I instruct my students so that they build discipline and persistence, and create good music along the way. I hope you will leave my classes inspired and with an appreciation for music that will bring a lifetime's worth of joy!

Music speaks directly to our heart, and I hope to enrich students with this powerful and universal language.

More often than not, the joy of making music is shrouded behind technical deficiencies and bad habits. In my studio, I remain conscious of each student's uniqueness while trying to lay a strong technical and aural foundation. To teach students how to read music, to truly understand the score, and to respect a composer's intentions sounds pedestrian; however, these areas can mesmerize a student passionately seeking truth and beauty in music. As a teacher, I hope to strengthen the often frayed link between surface level technicalities and the deeper emotional/spiritual components in music.

My main goal as a teacher is to instill the joy of learning and playing music. Also as a composer and performer, I encourage the students to be creative and to make the music their own.

I believe in a holistic approach to playing the piano where proper alignment and breathing techniques are essential to extracting the best possible sound. Rhythmic feel matters more than hitting all the right notes. Lastly, if you can sing it, you can play it.

I strive to create a supportive learning environment for piano students to cultivate their technical and musical abilities. My goal in teaching piano lessons is for each student to become independently capable of exploring and expressing their enjoyment of music through synthesizing musical instinct, history, and theory within the context of healthy technical movement.

I strongly believe in equipping students early on with the tools for self- sufficiency. I believe that the most effective teaching is one that helps the student learn to expand their awareness, ask questions, inquire, and problem- solve so that they themselves are the primary and drive of self-improvement.

Through effective sequencing of technical studies and repertoire I foster the ability in my students to pursue their musical aspirations. I strive to create a positive atmosphere and provide opportunities to empower students to reach the highest possible level on their instrument. Each student is an individual bringing a unique perspective and background to their musical studies. I desire to help each student discover and pursue a commitment to his or her own distinctive learning process and style. When teachers encourage the joy of learning and discovery in students plus confidence in their abilities it facilitates them in pursuing any career path they choose, especially music.

My lessons are conducted in a friendly and non-stressful environment. I aim to give my students a solid foundation of technique for expressing themselves musically and to treat each student as a unique individual. Each student is taught in a way that is based on their personality and the willingness to study.

I believe in inspiring my students to achieve their greatest potential. I aim to help my students discover their inner musicality through their performing while instilling artistry and technical mastery on their instrument.

I believe in teaching students to teach themselves. Self-awareness and the ability to recognize and fix problems are marketable skills in an out of the music field.

It’s incredibly important as a teacher to create a comfortable, engaging, and supportive atmosphere, as I believe that is where learning happens at its best. Furthermore, I strive to equip my students with all the tools and musical understanding they need to form their own interpretations and deliver compelling performances.

I believe every student is capable of excelling artistically, technically and musically if they possess curiosity and discipline. My goal as a teacher is to foster this curiosity and discipline through making the student become aware of their mind, body and sound. Once a student can be aware of these interdependent elements, they start on the path to becoming their own teacher!

I always tailor my teaching to the individual student and I am passionate about helping everyone reach their full potential. I teach with enthusiasm and encouragement to help develop each student into a complete musician.

Performing and sharing music with an audience is always a pleasure, but being able to teach and watch students grow, brings me even more joy. I strive to get to know each student as individuals-to discover what makes them unique while understanding and supporting their goals.

I aim to entertain while I instruct, and I have always considered myself to be a glorified student. Passion, dedication, and patience are crucial for development and fulfillment.

I approach each student as an individual with their own goals, needs, experience level, and learning style to create a specialized curriculum that helps propel the student towards their best self and enjoy the process at the same time. I believe that teaching students how to make good use of their practice time (being productively self-critical) and process information in an intuitive way drastically expedites musical development and profoundly affects brain development. Much of this intuitive practice has to do with internalizing information such as music theory or recordings to the point that playing music becomes second nature much like a language.

I believe a wholesome approach to education is the most beneficial for students and teachers alike. On top of musical and technical proficiency, I strive for my students to learn how to develop a strong work ethic.

I believe in helping each student develop their own personal voice on the guitar. We will work with discipline and intelligence to develop a beautiful sound and solid technical foundation. I will listen carefully to interpret your ideas and if necessary, offer ways to help them better match your intentions. I will share the tools of proper preparation to see how they lead to a successful performance. Most importantly, whether it is a college audition, graduate recital, professional concert or a coffee house performance, we will make sure you are prepared for your next step.

I believe in a holistic/comprehensive approach where I incorporate historical significance, theory and analysis, and performance practicum to make an experience that focuses on the student's individual needs. I focus on creating a fun and engaging environment where the students feel comfortable and are able to realize their full potential.

Music is a perpetual process of discovering the world and yourself through the beauty of sound. My goal, as a teacher, is to guide the student in discovering how they learn. In so doing, I hope to teach them how to ultimately become their own teacher.

My approach as a music instructor is rooted in nurturing and developing creativity. I try to instill a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about music in my students, while giving them a solid foundation in theory and technique.

I have always thought it essential to the success of my students to recognize and acknowledge their existing strengths in order to instill the confidence needed to improve their weaknesses. Flexibility in working with diverse individuals and groups is also essential to effective teaching.

I do my best to make the music learning experience as enjoyable as possible for my students. I generally start out teaching them songs that they want to learn, and then incorporate music theory and technique, all the while working to build their confidence as a guitar player and musician.

There is no cookie-cutter way of teaching an instrument; students have different physiques, personalities, and goals. I strive to get to know every student comprehensively so that the student develops a healthy, positive relationship with the instrument. This healthy, positive relationship includes efficient practicing, music-driven thinking, and continuous motivation.

I believe that teaching isn't a one-size-fits-all situation. Every person is different and unique, so I tailor my teaching to what the student wants and needs, while also keeping enjoyment in the process as well.

I have always been a firm believer in following what your heart and soul is telling you, and that can be a very big stepping stone for any young person seeking to embark on a musical career.

As a teaching artist, my principal objective is to create a learning dynamic that allows students to become their own teachers. To accomplish such a goal, I strive to instill the physical, mental and emotional control necessary to constructively critique one's own playing and to feel empowered by the journey towards musical excellence.

When I teach music, I don't teach just the basic elements of music but I try to teach creativity and different ways of musical expression, by transmitting my own experiences to my students. This creative process is open to amatuer and professional musicians who want to express their personality thro

As a teacher, I am guided by each student’s sense of curiosity and individual learning style. From there we build on technique as well as all aspects of complete musicianship. It is essential for me as the teacher to meet each student exactly at his/her current level and then guide each individual to improvement via patient practice and heightened awareness.

Music is a language that opens the doors of our world. Every individual has their own process of learning, and for this reason I customize the best study method for each one, working in an environment of passion and discipline. My goal is for my students to enjoy the challenge of creating music with perfect technique, a beautiful tone and musicality. I help students achieve their dreams by focusing on their musical goals, interests and aspirations.

Drawing on my background performing orchestral, historical, and contemporary music as well as researching music history and theory, I'm dedicated to providing students with a well-rounded education. With all my teaching, however, I focus on helping students to properly evaluate themselves, therefore becoming their own teachers.

Studying music involves both the student and the instructor in a mutually kinesthetic process of imitation, trial and error, and feedback. My role as the teacher is not only to provide the students with the tools necessary to improve and accomplish their imagined result, but also to facilitate an encouraging atmosphere where the student feels comfortable enough to experiment and create.

I am very committed to providing a learning environment that is both exciting and rigorous, and one that empowers students to reach their maximum potential as musicians. I have devised various teaching strategies that allowed students to conquer the demands of technique, rhythmic accuracy, flexibility of intonation and tone, projection of sound, dynamic control, and reed adjusting. Above all, I treat my students with the utmost respect, creating an environment where students feel safe to express their musical thoughts orally and through the instrument. As a result, students respond to my dedication by committing themselves to their lessons as well as to the furtherance of their own education.

I offer students help to find their inner motivation and joy in practicing and playing music and I present them the tools to develop high level technical skills on their instrument. I believe that this combination is the key for students to become independent and capable of preparing on their own for any future musical challenge.

Always working to share my love of music, I am patient and encouraging, and bring a great deal of experience to my teaching. I have been fortunate enough to have learned from some of the world's best orchestral and solo flutists, and enjoy sharing what I have gained from them with my students. As a child I was not always taught the best technique, causing me problems as an adult - problems I take a great deal of care to make sure my own students avoid!

It is important to focus on developing solid fundamentals. Special attention will be given to areas that need the most work, and we will work on how to practice effectively.

Between having taught classical saxophone at Cornell University and Jazz Studies at the University of Rochester, I try to bring as much legitimacy as I can to any style of music that I am playing. I strive to find what connects best with the student and give him or her appropriate guidance for that particular style. I focus on tone, articulation and technique in order to emphasize the capabilities of the saxophone.

I believe in tailoring lessons to each individual student's abilities. Music is necessary and unique, and I want to foster a lifelong love of music, whether they go into music or not.

‘One step at a time’ with a swift pace is the main idea.

I use music to teach my students about life, how to become a better person and the responsibility that music gives us will translate to any profession.

I enjoy working with many different people on a personal level. From young kids to seniors, and enthusiastic amateurs to seasoned pros. It's exciting to see the growth and improvement and be part of it. I especially love to share my passion for music and inspire others with it.

I believe that the most beneficial and rewarding way of teaching music is teaching it as a fundamental part of the human experience. By learning music under this context we can discover the power of our own expression.

With patience, I teach my students the most solid foundations of playing, in the simplest and most direct way, and let them experience self-improvement. I teach them that music comes from life but it is larger than life. I want my students how to identify music by themselves, how to understand difficulties, how to hone their skills with continuous practice, and to use all their knowledge and expression to serve music.

I"I believe strongly in the interconnectedness of musical disciplines. I strive to ground the teaching of ear training in a strong understanding of music theory, and embed theoretical knowledge firmly within an understanding of historical time and place. Plus, I aim to make every lesson a fun, rewarding, and memorable experience!

I don't think a student has truly learned an idea until they can teach it. I believe in learning by doing: thinking about music by making music.

As a voice instructor, I seek to provide an environment that allows for one's best individual singing voice to unfold and be nurtured, emphasizing the essential fundamentals of musicianship such as phrasing and intonation. I often refer to the Alexander Technique, Dalcroze Eurhythmics, and Libero Canto in my lessons.

I not only give my students the tools to excel in the field of music, but also acknowledge their own individual connection to music, and strive to foster their own unique relationship with music. My primary goal in teaching trumpet technique is to approach playing in a way that is as natural and easy as using one’s own voice. It is also my duty to impart the most important skill: To be the music and have fun with whatever you play. If learning music is learning a language, first, we need to learn the letters before we can write poems, novels, etc. However, I believe that our connection to emotions should start developing while we start learning the letters, not later.

The study of music is transferable to all subjects and develops critical thinking skills necessary in education and the workforce. A music educator needs to be patient to help students develop the musical and life skills they need to be prepared throughout their lives. My goal is to help students understand the language of music; participate in the beauty of our art; and to give the gift of music that will follow students throughout time; and for students to become artistic-thinking individuals with a life-long desire to learn.

Empathy, Knowledge, and discipline are the pillars of my instructional methods. I aim to connect with each of my students on a personal level to provide an enriching, holistic education. As my student, you will be guided through music lessons relatable to every-day life that will allow you to discover yourself, as you Discover Melody.

Our singing voice is the instrument we were each born to play. My goal is to make singing effortless and enjoyable and to help my students build confidence in themselves by developing their instrument. Together we will work on breathing, speaking and vocal exercises, as well as appropriate repertoire, singing with beautiful Italian vowels, free of tension and with emotional purpose.

I believe that music should be taught in a holistic manner. The student and teacher should have a relationship whereby the student can grow musically as well as physically, emotionally and intellectually.

After more than 15 years teaching Music, I've learned that Discipline and Perseverance are necessary qualities if you want to learn Music. However, passion for music is the essential key if you really want to make an impact with your performance.

One of the guiding forces in my life has always been a curiosity to explore… This curiosity has led me to many diverse musical situations throughout my career. Working as an educator, with students of all ages, I strive to help prepare and enable the next generation of young musicians in finding their own diverse lives and careers in music.

I believe any student can succeed with dedication, hard work, and a healthy dose of fun! A growth mindset is key for success in any area of life, and especially in music. I focus on instilling a solid foundation of technique and fluency in fingerings, scales, and other essential fundamentals. Solo repertoire, etudes, and orchestral excerpt study are most effective when layered on top of functional technique.

My teaching is centered on discipline, love of process, curiosity, and engagement. The skills developed through patient musical studies are widely applicable and transferable to many other areas of life. I hope my students - whatever their professional goals may be - will come to see music not as an isolated subject, but as a way of life.

I strive to engage my students in the learning process catered to their personal goals, desires, and needs. My focus centers around developing musical skills which promote creativity while instilling a life long love of music.

I use fun and creative teaching methodologies. Learning should be democratic and self-motivated. Everyone can learn to sing if they truly listen and feel the music.

Real knowledge lasts a lifetime and changes you. Technique is empowering and the anchor that will help you trust yourself. My purpose is to help guide you in combining technique with your individual artistic needs to create the singer you envision yourself to be.

I strive to teach musical and technical knowledge through the application of hard work, dedication, focus and setting specific goals. I work with students to use these techniques to ultimately assist them in applying their musical and outside interests to their everyday lives.

I tailor the way I teach to help a student sound the best that they can at all time. I get satisfaction seeing a students appreciation for music grow and carry them forward in life.

I strive nurture my students' love of music through innovative and intriguing teaching methods. We will work on repertoire that builds technique and nurtures the inner musician. I have worked with students of all ages and abilities.

Independent, Interests, individuality.

My aim is to develop well-rounded, stylistically informed musicians. In addition to technical mastery of the instrument, I like to have students work to understand the music tradition while also adapting to the demands of the modern professional.

Music is above all the pursuit of one’s ideal performance. In order to move closer to this we must train our ear with proper hearing and train our mind with knowledge. Nothing is worse than a musician who knows nothing of the music they play.

To learn piano is to learn about life. It is to develop one's skills and capabilities to the highest possible level at any given moment. The search for becoming a musician and a pianist is the search for being a better human-being. Essentially it is the analysis of human emotion and the study of aesthetics combined at the highest level. To be a pianist, one must yearn for knowledge in every field and strive for the deepest integrity and honesty within oneself in order to reach true creativity.

Music is a universal language, and I teach the violin through demonstrations and sequence-based learning with clarity, kindness, and joy. I maintain high standards of technique and musicality while emphasizing consistency, perseverance, and tone. I am originally Suzuki-trained, so I truly believe that everyone can learn to play an instrument beautifully. This foundational belief helped me earn my Master of Music in violin performance from the Royal Academy of Music in London. I look forward to working with you!

I believe that learning music is not only the ability to play one or multiple instruments, but also establishing a rounded knowledge of many other musical concepts such as musicology, including diverse genre and musical style, music theory and music history.

My teaching goal is to lead students to enjoy the beauty of music. By teaching students how to coordinate their body movements for better expression, and conduct their performance and non-performance activities, students will learn to solve their specific technical problems and effectively improve their practice efficiency. Furthermore, I would inspire students to think and appreciate music, and give them better understanding of the pieces from various aspects based upon different individuals, since every student is unique and distinctive.
