Teaching philosophy
My teaching philosophy integrates personal expertise and learning experiences . I believe that each student is unique, with distinct learning styles and needs. Therefore, I emphasize tailored teaching methods to assist each student in leveraging their strengths and overcoming challenges.
I also aim to foster critical thinking in students, helping them understand the meaning and emotions behind music, and how to convey these elements through performance.
In teaching, I am committed to creating a positive, supportive, and inspiring learning environment. I encourage students to overcome setbacks, continuously challenge themselves, and derive a sense of accomplishment from their learning journey. Simultaneously, I stress the enjoyment and pleasure of music, allowing students to experience joy and satisfaction in their playing.
Most importantly, I believe that music is not just a skill, but also an art and a way of life. I hope to inspire students to find their unique voice and meaning in music.
