Enjoyment Through Achievement

The role of a great teacher is to open doors, and not to push the pupil through.
-Artur Schnabel

My teaching approach focuses on:

• Adeptness at modifying my approach to accommodate the individual unique needs and learning style of each student
• Providing students with a sound technical foundation which is physiologically based and injury preventive
• Teaching musical concepts that will guide students to ultimately developing their own approach and forming an independent interpretation
• Providing students with effective practice strategies which will aid in learning repertoire more efficiently and which will also serve students well in their other academic pursuits
• Performance preparation including exams, music festivals and competitions, masterclasses and regular studio recitals
• Enhancing the student's self-esteem and confidence to enable them to express themselves and experience the joy of musical communication thus providing them with keys to achievement in other fields
• Inspiring and motivating the student by acting as a role model and demonstrating my desire for learning, love for the beauty of music and passion for teaching
