My Teaching Philosophy
Music is a vital part of the human experience. It affects and expresses who we are and what we think and feel. Because of the innate way that music shapes culture and way of life, every child should have the opportunity to study music. While not every child has a natural bent toward music, a lifetime of participating in and enjoying music can be fostered from an early age and nurtured long into adult years. It is all too common to find adults who lament the fact that they did not pursue music studies when they were children. My goal as a piano teacher is to develop fundamental music skills while instilling a love for music in all students that I teach.
