About Me
Firstly, I try to put myself in the student's shoes, understand where the student is coming from musically, and use this context as the background against which to progress the student's musical development. For example, I am not going to ask the student to practice a Rachmaninoff-esque technique when s/he has recently started learning piano. Secondly, engagement and humor are necessary; I will always make certain the student is attentive by, among other ideas, initiating relevant discussions to which the student will surely contribute. Furthermore, I will always highlight the student's accomplishments and bring out the best in the student; I want the student to have the full confidence that s/he can reach all of her/his goals and execute all her/his objectives. Lastly, as there is an abundance of ways to practice each piece and each song, I will make sure to introduce all of them, or as many as possible, to the student.
