About Me

Ever since I was a child, whenever I heard music, I would get lost in my dreams for hours, imagining myself in the place of each musician or singer. Sometimes I would find that several hours had passed and I was still floating in my dreams. My parents loved music and there were always several people in our family gatherings who were musicians and singers. They were the most fascinating people to me, because with their art they both enjoyed themselves and shared that feeling with others. I wanted to be like them one day and turn my dreams into reality. I was about 9 years old at the time. My uncle played the piano and I excitedly learned three or four little songs from him. It was from this point that the path of my life became intertwined with music and never opened again.

Teaching Method

The appeal of teaching begins with making the right decisions for the student's progress along the way. This is because each person has a unique set of individual characteristics that influence their learning, and more importantly, each person may have a specific goal. We can discuss the student's goal and then choose our path based on that goal. The goal could be to play a song, strengthen musical listening, gain knowledge about the theory of music, or even pursue professional studies in music, which we can discuss in full at the introductory session.
