TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

I believe teaching music is teaching another language to the beginners. The beautiful sounds make every head turns. Music relaxed the mind, soul, and spirit of everyone. Playing and listening to music, as well as learning about it, is one of the most popular and exciting pastimes in the world today. Piano is the most romantic of all instruments. Through my teaching experiences in so many years, I find that using music- giving students the opportunity to express their memories and yearning for mystery through sounds and rhythms - can also nourish the aspect of their development.
