Teaching Philosophy
Music should be engaging, inspiring, and, above all, fun. I believe students learn best when they enjoy the process, so I strive to create a dynamic and supportive learning environment. Dry, rigid lessons aren’t effective. I adjust my teaching to fit each student’s learning style and personality, ensuring they feel both challenged and encouraged. As a piano and violin teacher, my approach balances technique, expression, and play, helping students build confidence and a deep, lasting connection with music.
Musical Education
My musical journey began over a decade ago, and I have since developed a deep passion for playing the piano and violin. I hold a piano degree (Level 3) from Pars Music Institute (Tehran, Iran). Over the past 12 years, I have participated in numerous concerts and recitals, which have helped me develop my technical skills and performance abilities. I have attended voice and singing classes there for two years as well. I also have a solid foundation in music theory; I participated in the art universities entrance exams in my home country and ranked 16th among over 17,000 participants. I also have a Teacher Training Course (TTC) Certificate and am currently a piano and violin teacher at CMA music academy teaching different age groups.
Awards and Distinctions
Winner of the first-place national award in the school's choir group (2016)
Special Skills and Trainings
My teaching is shaped by both formal training and diverse experiences in different fields. My studies at Pars Music Institute provided me with advanced training in piano and violin, alongside voice and music theory. Additionally, my experience as an EFL instructor has enhanced my ability to communicate complex concepts in a clear, simplified and adaptable way, making lessons accessible for students of all learning styles. I incorporate elements of movement and body awareness into my teaching, drawing inspiration from methods like the Alexander Technique, to help students develop ease and confidence in their playing. Many years of multidisciplinary background in visual arts also continues to inform my teaching, encouraging creativity and personal expression in music.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
