Teaching Philosophy
Throughout the years, I've had the privilege of immersing myself in various genres of music, including classical, romantic, and pop. This rich exposure has ignited my passion for exploring the musical world, particularly in classical piano. It brings me immense joy to share my musical journey with all of you, and my hope is that you'll come to love music just as much as I do! As your instructor, I understand that each student has unique learning goals, and my role is to support you in achieving them. Whether you're just starting out or rekindling an old hobby, I'm here to help you find joy in playing your instrument and creating music. In our lessons, we'll cover technique, musical comprehension, and exercises to reinforce what you've learned. Remember, practice is vital for progress, and I'll be here to guide you every step of the way in your musical adventure! Let's make music together and embrace the joy it brings.

Special Skills and Trainings
Growing up with my dad, a recording engineer for celebrity singers, I was exposed to a wide range of musical genres from a young age. This exposure has enriched my own musical journey, allowing me to explore various types of music beyond just piano! Recently, I have been inspired by the International Chopin Competition 2021 and have incorporated some of Chopin's methods into my teaching. Chopin, a piano master influenced by the great composer Beethoven of the Classical period, has deeply inspired me. In our lessons, get ready to delve into the iconic works of musical giants like Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart, and more!

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!
