Read her teaching philosophy below: 

"I believe that everyone is unique, the same way how each student learns is unique. Learning and progress can be very difficult at times so I aim to foster a student's curiosity and enthusiasm for music yet still balance that motivation with a good foundation to technique. I strive to create lessons that students look forward to and help build a teacher-student relationship that develops a mutual trust and respect. Music is my life and passion and I hope to help students find the love and gratification that I've found in music and learning."
