Teaching Philosophy
Even the best in their fields have mentor. Whether it'd be Roger Federer, Bill Gates they all had mentor behind their success. I believe it is important that I provide the tools for the student to easily pursue their music at the end of each lesson. Improving and learning requires dedication and solitude which could be stressful on students. It is my job as an instructor to ease the student and motivate the student in feeling joy from their accomplishments.
Musical Education
I have attended following schools for following degrees. -University of Michigan - Master of Music -Musicians Institute - Bachelor of Music -Shanghai American School - Highschool I have BA in guitar performance from musicians institute where I was taught how basic foundation in music and guitar. Furthermore I worked there as a teacher's assistant. Afterwards, I attended University of Michigan for my masters. During then I focused on jazz improvisation to dig deeper in learning how improvisation is not only a fun tool for music but how it could aid in one's creativity and composition.
Special Skills and Trainings
Many musicians tend to solely devote themselves into improving on their musical instruments and their musician ship. I was the same until I learned about streaming. Besides music, I had a passion for entertaining other people which led me to pursue career in streaming as well. Through online streaming, I learned ways to be humble yet provide humor for viewers.

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.

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!
