The first thing I do before the first day of class is send out an enthusiastic email to introduce myself. We then Briefly discuss the learning goals for the course based on the visual literacy, technical, and intellectual competencies the students would like to achieve by the end of a period through the questionnaire. This is ideal for me to design the course or update an existing course for the student's desired outcomes. The customized syllabus and the schedule are completed along with a comprehensive strategy for what will take place during our lesson together. I incorporate technology all the time. I'm also inclusive driven because I believe everyone can learn no matter their capabilities or background, I also engage with my students by catering to their interests, and I embrace my dualities and share them with my students.

I am an experienced piano and guitar teacher of 13 years available for eager students. While I focus on building a strong foundation of piano and guitar skills, I structure my lessons so students can learn in a very easy way by using the right methods and books. My main focus is to make my students feel good about themselves and feel comfortable all the time and not to be judged at any point during the lesson. This strategy has been working very well all over the years. It also makes students achieve more and be passionate about what they play. I typically use Alfred's Basic books: lesson, technic, and theory books. I also provide my students with homework sheet that explains what we have been focusing on, what they have achieved, and what is the expectations for next lesson. Due to Covid-19, I started my online lessons and it has been working very well. We usually have a recital once a year. Our first virtual recital will be in December.
