My teaching philosophy is based on 4 guiding principles:

1. Placing meaningful music-making at the heart of the lessons
2. Establishing musical knowledge and understanding in theory and practice
3. Developing technical and pianistic skills, and effective practising strategies
4. Creating a positive and professional atmosphere through good teacher facilitation.

These guiding principles can be broken down into more specific ones:

1. Making music is at the heart of all lessons
2. Learning is placed within a structured and progressive framework
3. Separating the development of pianistic skills from the teaching of musical concepts
4. Every student is treated as unique and is given an individual, tailor-made approach
5. Encouraging a sense of exploration and discovery in students
6. Engaging the imagination, energy and creativity of students and teacher
7. Teaching with honesty, commitment, integrity, professionalism and passion
8. Being committed to a process of ongoing professional development and personal music making

In my piano lessons, I adhere to a well-defined framework designed to inspire students, foster creativity, maintain motivation, and achieve their goals. Each lesson strikes a balance between musical concepts and pianistic skills, providing a comprehensive musical education. Central to my approach is the cultivation of well-rounded musicianship within an environment characterized by integrity and professionalism.
