About me
Personal Message
I am a person with a very big passion for classical and traditional music and currently broadening my experience as a solo pianist, accompanist and a session musician.
I feel my greatest strength
as a teacher is having the ability to concentrate on each student’s creative
potential by understanding individual needs and interests. My experiences
include private tutoring and working as a music school teacher.
In the past I studied the methodology of teaching music, created by prestigious musicians including Zoltan Kodaly and Carl Orff. This opportunity has allowed me to pursue my interest in Educational Psychology and Pedagogy and learn about the tremendous impact music has on human’s development.
