Beyond the Studio
When I'm Not Teaching...
Music is not just my profession—it's my life. When I'm not in the studio or conducting choirs, you'll find me exploring new musical genres, attending concerts, or enjoying socializing with my friends.
My teaching philosophy is to create personalized lesson plans depending on my student's talent, ability and their general interest in music, that motivates each of them to reach their maximum potential.
"To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable." - Ludwig van Beethoven
