Personal Statement

I try to expose my students to a complete variety of musical styles. Only by playing the repertoire of the various periods of musical composition and guiding them through the understanding of these styles will a student develop their own individual comfort and confidence. Being a successful performer depends on the synthesis of these two elements: building a solid technique and deeply understanding the music you are playing. As a teacher, I try to nurture the proper psychological approach to performance. Great preparation and the proper state.
