While I have my favorite teaching methods, I always tailor my approach to the specific needs of each student, striving to make the learning process both efficient and enjoyable. I aim to show my students that practicing is not just a tedious task, but a fascinating problem-solving game that brings us closer to our goal: the ability to play new pieces of music with joy and pleasure.
