About Me

I started learning music with the Orff Schulwerk method when I was 9 years old and after a year I decided to choose flute as my instrument. At first, when I saw the flute, it had a very attractive looking and weird sound for me, so I liked to discover it! Those times, in my dreams and imagination I was a music instructor and performer who was always on the scene playing the flute. Now I'm really happy that I was able to make my dreams come true. :)

Teaching Method

In my teaching, I always try to be flexible enough for each student in methods and communication. Because each person has a different age, character, ability and desire. Also, there're many methods for teaching and learning flute which are very accurate and we can choose them according to the situation or the skill we want to work on.
