I have been teaching one-on-one lessons to children age six and above providing them personalized Kodály based music programs focusing on the development of their musical skills and enjoyment. I am very well- experienced in producing music recitals since 2007.
Throughout my teaching career, I have been driven to help students achieve their very best. I strongly believe that music has the power to change lives – to enhance the social, cultural and spiritual lives of people, and serve as a profound medium of personal expression. My empathy and my interpersonal skills enable me to freely discuss any matter of concern with both students and parents of diverse social and cultural backgrounds. I believe this is a role to which I could bring great value, exercising and broadening my music teaching experience, and helping students develop their talents while nurturing their passion for music.
