Teaching Philosophy
I believe that students firstly need to enjoy their music. My goal of teaching is to personalize and systematically plan for each student fulfillment and lead them to the maximum potential. In addition, my method guides the students to getting their own musical ideas rather than simply presenting my ideas and answers. Through the discussions in the lessons, students will develop their logical thinking that will result a true understanding of the analytical concept on music and the development of their own musical skills. Piano technique is also very important facets in order to apply the musical ideas and interpretation into the playing. It enables students to make various timbre as well as pleasurable demonstrations. I approaches the piano technique by physically analyzing what motion or posture would cause a problematic sound or technical issue and fix.
