Teaching Style
My teaching style is structured, engaging, and student-centered. Each lesson begins with focused warm-ups and technical exercises, including finger drills, scales, and solfège to strengthen pitch accuracy, sight-reading, and aural skills. I emphasize proper technique, musicality, and expressive performance, guiding students progressively from foundation to advanced repertoire. Lessons are tailored to individual learning styles, encouraging confidence, discipline, and a genuine love for music through consistent practice and creative exploration.
Curriculum
My teaching methods are structured and student-centered, combining demonstration, guided practice, and regular technical warm-ups such as scales, finger exercises, and solfège. Lessons progress step by step from foundational skills to advanced repertoire, with a strong focus on technique, musical expression, and performance confidence. Instruction is tailored to individual learning needs, supported by clear feedback and regular performance opportunities.
