To Parents Seeking a Violin Teacher

Music education offers extraordinary benefits for your child's development. Studies by educational psychologists have shown that students who engage in instrumental music not only enhance their brain development but also excel in academics and life skills. Learning the violin develops the whole person, engaging both the body and the mind.

As your child’s violin teacher, my goal is to provide a high-quality educational experience that nurtures their growth as an individual and a musician. In my private lessons, chamber groups, and group classes, students learn not just music but also valuable life skills, including:

-A love of learning, beauty, and music
-The desire to communicate and interact with others
-Leadership and teamwork
-Discipline and responsibility
-How to learn from mistakes
-Serving and inspiring others

Making Learning Fun

When I first began learning the violin at age six, neither my parents nor I imagined I would become a professional violinist. What kept me going was the joy of learning—from private lessons to group classes with friends, learning was always fun.

I believe the "fun" element in learning is essential, especially for beginners. Over the years, I have researched and developed innovative ways to ensure learning the violin is an enjoyable and engaging experience, helping students stay motivated while building their skills.

Learning the Right Way from the Start

I first felt the true joy of playing the violin when I could focus on expressing my inner feelings without worrying about technical issues. This experience drives my teaching philosophy:

-Technique should be taught clearly and correctly from the beginning, so it becomes second nature.
-Expressive talent should be nurtured from an early stage to keep students inspired and emotionally connected to music.

By balancing technique and expression, I help students find fulfillment and joy in their playing, whether they’re pursuing a professional career or simply enjoying music as a lifelong passion.

I also believe that "True Joy" comes from commitment. A child who doesn’t find joy in playing the violin will eventually lose interest. My goal is to help each student develop a deep, personal connection to the violin while fostering discipline and determination.
