TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

I discovered my passion for teaching while working as a cello instructor in New York. Since then, my teaching philosophy has been shaped by my performance experience and the guidance of remarkable mentors.

My approach emphasizes building a strong musical foundation through disciplined technique, refined tone production, ear training, and a clear understanding of musical structure from the earliest stages of learning. I believe that a solid technical and musical framework is essential for long-term artistic growth.

Equally important is fostering a genuine love for music. I strive to create a supportive and focused learning environment where students feel motivated to explore, express, and develop their own musical voice.

Each lesson is carefully tailored to the individual student, taking into account their goals, learning style, and pace. My aim is to guide students not only toward technical excellence, but also toward confidence, independence, and a lasting passion for music.

“I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy; but most importantly music, for the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning”. Plato
