Teaching Philosophy
As a teacher, I believe that every student has a unique learning style, and I make it a priority to understand each student's personality, strengths, and challenges. I approach teaching with a psychological mindset, recognizing that students' emotional states and mindsets play a key role in their learning progress. I encourage a positive and supportive environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and growing from them. By understanding their individual psychology, I can adapt my methods to help students build confidence, self-discipline, and a love for music. I also use music as a tool for emotional expression, helping students channel their emotions through their playing, which in turn helps them connect more deeply with the music.
Musical Education
My musical journey started at the age of six, when I began learning piano. Over the years, I developed a deep appreciation for Persian music, which has influenced both my performances and my teaching. I have had the privilege of studying under renowned mentors like Maestro Anoushirvan Rohani, and my experiences at Parnian Music Institution and Golshan Music School have shaped me into a well-rounded teacher and performer. I believe music is a universal language, and my role as a teacher is to guide students in expressing themselves through it.

Special Skills and Trainings
My journey in music began early, with a strong focus on Persian music and performance. Studying under Maestro Anoushirvan Rohani and working at institutions like Parnian Music Institution and Golshan Music School have shaped my teaching philosophy. This blend of formal education and hands-on experience allows me to offer students a deep understanding of Persian music, integrating both technical skill and emotional connection into lessons. Alongside my technical expertise, I emphasize the importance of ear training, which helps students develop a natural musicality and a deeper understanding of what they are playing. I believe that strengthening a student’s ear is key to enhancing their overall musicianship and expression. My approach also incorporates psychological principles, ensuring each student feels supported emotionally and mentally. This holistic method fosters both personal growth and a lifelong love for 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!
