Teaching Philosophy
Music is an inseparable part of life, present throughout history in various forms. It's like the fuel for my journey, and my students are fellow passengers on this train of life, waiting to reach their own destinations. I deeply appreciate my students and have a strong passion for music, knowing how to nurture it. The core of my teaching focuses on helping students sense and feel music deeply, with theoretical understanding as a secondary aspect. I strive to cultivate a love for music in each student, tailoring my methods to their unique needs and goals. "Music should strike fire from the heart of man and bring tears from the eyes of woman." - Ludwig V. Beethoven
Musical Education
I am currently a second year undergrad music student at York university, and my major is piano performance. I started learning music academically 8 years ago with learning music theory and piano performance and I had my first official recital after 6 months of learning piano. I was taught by several teachers through those years and gained a valuable experience from different methods and elements of teaching and learning.
Special Skills and Trainings
I was always engaged with music through listening, playing, composing without any knowledge and only with my heart and soul.

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!
