teaching philosophy
“My teaching philosophy is to provide inspiration and motivation to learn about music in a friendly and positive classroom. I would like my students to see me as their teacher and also their friend. During the process of learning the violin, I help my students to reach their best potential in any aspects. It is important for me to develop not only their brain, but also their personality as individuals. I do not want my students to just play the violin in tune with a good position, I want them to perform the instrument with confidence and to have expression and character in their playing. My standards are high and I believe that is a key for my students’ successful performance not only in the musical world, but in their personal and social world.”
“The best teachers teach from the heart, not from the book.”
