Teaching Philosophy

Music is fundamental to my being, and I believe that it is integral to the education of any person. We all have rhythm and sound as a core part of our body, from the heartbeat to the sound of breath, and formal training in music is only an expansion of what already exists in every person. The body of a musician requires as much detailed physical analysis and focus as that of an elite athlete; all of my lessons begin with physical warm-ups to support the specific musculature required in the development of each instrument. Joy and play are essential elements of successful learning at any age, and I make certain that students learn without a lot of undue stress and anxiety. Adult students can expect the same support and respect as the youngest child. Without joy, there is no music, and without music, there is no joy. Overall, teaching is my motivation in life. It is how I give back to the people. The one thing that motivates me as a teacher is the fact that the joy from working with children and seeing happy parents makes the entire experience so much more enjoyable. I love making students laugh and creating a fun way to teach the music curriculum. It brings life to my days when I see people around me full of joy... especially when it was me who made them smile. I love bringing hope and the joy of accomplishment to the people around me. When the kids accomplished something that's labeled as challenging, they tend to jump with joy or act like an accomplished superhero... and I live for it. I also love seeing adult students get filled with joy when they learned to play their favorite song or accomplish making their dreams come true. As you can see, there are many things that brings me motivation and joy as a teacher. I hope this inspires you as you read this message. If you have heard of Mel Robbins, you may like my method of teaching and motivating students. I have this 1 secret way to get anyone regardless of circumstances, to get started in their practice daily. I hope you consider me for your team as I will bring much value to you and help many of your students thrive. Thank you.
