My goal is to be a teacher who earns respect through authenticity and accessibility. I strive to strike a balance between being seen as relaxed yet professional, encouraging students to work hard without feeling intimidated. I place significant personal value on the quality of being down-to-earth rather than performative or elitist, avoiding the pitfalls of both over-expectation and underestimation. By connecting with my students as not only a musician, but a real person, I aim to create a genuine connection that empowers students to discover their unique potential while working with me.
