Teaching Philosophy
My goal as a music teacher is to preserve the art of classical piano principles, encourage emotional expression, and pass on my passion for music. My duty is to realize and foster student natural talent to its full potential, while developing discipline and creativity, with focuses on growing a well-rounded pianist.
