Professional Statement
I am dedicated and passionate about teaching music. I’m flexible, patient, hard working, like a challenge, and am skilled at what I do. I started playing piano around the age of 7. Throughout my musical experience, I have had two types of teachers: one that told me I would never make it while the other encouraged me to succeed and gave me the necessary tools to do so. I believe both teachers were crucial in shaping the teacher I am today. They helped me learn that I want to be as encouraging as I can while helping my students become the best musicians and people they can be. My goal in teaching is to share my love of music.
