Teaching Philosophy
For me, teaching music is about more than just notes and technique — it’s about helping students connect with themselves and enjoy the process of learning. I want my students to feel comfortable, encouraged, and curious every step of the way. I’ve studied cello, piano, and music theory in a classical setting, and I’ve also been part of choirs and orchestras, so I understand the balance between personal practice and teamwork. I try to bring that same balance into my teaching: structure and discipline, but also fun, expression, and creativity. Since I’ve lived in Argentina, Korea, and now Canada — and speak Spanish, English, and Korean — I’m very used to working with people from different backgrounds. I try to adapt my teaching to fit each student’s personality, pace, and goals. Whether we’re working on technique, reading music, or just exploring sound, I want my students to enjoy what they’re doing and feel proud of their progress. More than anything, I want to help others find their own voice through music, just like I’ve found mine. It’s really about growing together — as musicians and as people.
Musical Education
I studied cello, piano, and music theory at the Music Academy of the Universidad Adventista del Plata from 2015 to 2020. My training was rooted in classical tradition, and I received consistent one-on-one instruction throughout those years. The music program placed strong emphasis on ear training, technique, and ensemble performance. Alongside my private instruction, I was an active member of both the orchestra and choir throughout middle and high school at the Instituto Adventista del Plata. This experience gave me opportunities to perform regularly, develop a strong sense of musical collaboration, and deepen my appreciation for both instrumental and vocal music. Growing up in a trilingual environment (Spanish, English, and Korean), I’ve always been drawn to the expressive and connective power of music across cultures. My training as a musician helped shape my discipline, sensitivity, and creative spirit—qualities I continue to carry into everything I do.
Special Skills and Trainings
I bring a unique combination of musical training, teaching experience, and cultural adaptability to everything I do. I studied classical cello, piano, and music theory for five years at the Music Academy of the Universidad Adventista del Plata, and have experience performing in both orchestras and choirs. I’m fluent in Spanish, English, and Korean, which allows me to teach and connect with students from diverse backgrounds with ease. Having lived in Argentina, Korea, and Canada, I’ve learned to adapt quickly to different environments and communicate across cultures. In addition to my music background, I’ve taught both English and Spanish to learners of all ages, developing a patient, supportive, and flexible teaching style. I’m responsible, motivated, and genuinely enjoy helping students grow.

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!
