I am enthusiastic about teaching and eager to share the joy of music. Through dedication and a rigorous work ethic, I believe that all students can succeed and have the potential for personal growth. My goal as a teacher is to enrich my students’ educations and lives, increase their appreciation for music and culture, and realize their individual potentials and abilities.
