I specialize in providing engaging and progressive lessons in electric keyboard, player piano, classical piano, and more. My teaching style combines technical foundations with creative exploration, focusing on ear training, music theory, and performance skills to support students of all levels. I believe that each student learns differently, so I design lessons around individual goals and interests while building strong fundamentals. To keep students motivated and inspired, I incorporate a variety of methods — from classical repertoire and contemporary styles. By integrating technology such as online platforms, interactive software, and digital resources, I create a modern, personalized learning experience that enhances both in-person and virtual lessons. Whether online or offline, I strive to make each session interactive, fun, and student-centered. My goal is not only to help students achieve steady technical progress but also to foster creativity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of music that they can carry with them for life.
