I have been profoundly classically trained in music for over 12 years. Started as a tutor at the age of 16 and kept going till this day, for over 11 years now.
I like to build great relationships with all of my students, weather they are adults, teenagers or children. For me it is very important students gets to feel comfortable at my lessons, as in this way they can focus better, have more fun and learn faster how to hit their goals in the musical field.

I am patient as I take my time to work with you through the different levels. I provide the student with positive reinforcement at each level of performance. I also encourage my students to practice and always look forward to playing for guests and at recitals as this boost their confidence level.
