Teaching Philosophy

“Every Child Can!” — from Suzuki Method

Talents are often undervalued without appropriate methods and professional guidance. My role as a violin educator is to discover the potential of individuals from all ages and levels, and assist them to accomplish their goals, whether it is to become a professional musician or a passionate music hobbyist.

I believe that teaching approaches should always fit students’ personal needs and learning experiences, since every student has their own characters, strengths, and learning pace.

In my violin lessons, demonstration of playing is crucial and effective to give my students a more intuitive image of playing, and help them better understand the problems we are working on.
