I believe I am a good friend to all my students, a listener who will help guide them and encourage them to have their own ideas and visions. I want my students to feel free to express themselves both verbally and through music that we are making together and show them that it is okay to make mistakes. My lessons usually have a pre-made plan, different for every student, meeting their individual needs. They are a combination of technical practices, basic theory knowledge that progresses as we learn, scales and arpeggios, left and right hand exercises, posture tips… Depending on student’s age, I also like to talk to them about body awareness and what they can do to maximise their potential and minimise the chance for any potential pain that may occur.
