Teaching Philosophy:
My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that music is a universal language that can
inspire, connect, and transform lives. I have a background in both classical and jazz music, I
strive to impart not only technical skills but also a deep appreciation for the art form. I believe
in fostering a creative and nurturing learning environment where students can explore their
musical potential, develop their unique voice, and build a strong foundation in music theory
and performance.
