Teaching

I believe that every student learns the piano differently because each person arrives with a unique body, personality, and way of sensing music. My teaching always begins with observation. I pay attention to how a student moves, listens, breathes, and responds so I can guide them with approaches that feel natural, healthy, and encouraging.

What I value most in lessons is not perfection, but steady growth and the confidence that comes with it. My background in vocal training shapes the way I teach piano. Singing taught me that music begins inside the body, so I often guide students with ideas of breath, phrasing, and ease rather than rigid mechanics.

Because I have joint hypermobility, I understand that traditional technical expectations do not work for everyone. This experience allows me to help students find playing approaches that are comfortable, injury preventive, and expressive in ways that fit their own bodies.

I emphasize strong fundamentals such as reading, rhythm, healthy posture, and coordinated movement, but always in a way that supports musical imagination. Above all, I want students to feel supported, understood, and inspired at the piano. My goal is to grow with them as they discover their own relationship with music.
