Teaching has been an active part of my experience as a musician since the beginning of my career. I started teaching recorder to young children when I was only twelve years old and began working at a private music school as a music theory instructor at the age of fourteen. Today, I have over 15 years of experience teaching the flute and piano, and hold teaching as a fascinating and noble office, and one that grants me the opportunity to truly impact the lives of my students.

Teaching has been an active part of my experience as a musician since the beginning of my career. I started teaching recorder to young children when I was only twelve years old and began working at a private music school as a music theory instructor at the age of fourteen. Today, I have over 15 years of experience teaching the flute and piano, and hold teaching as a fascinating and noble office, and one that grants me the opportunity to truly impact the lives of my students.
I aim to teach my students to take responsibility for every musical decision in a way that is sustained by research. In this way, my students learn to approach performance in a critical manner, which helps them build the confidence that results from making musical choices that are based on the authority that comes from knowledge. Along with learning the proposed approach that the score itself demands, I encourage my students to exercise artistic freedom, in a manner that is both passionate and tasteful.
I am eternally amazed by creativity, and being highly creative myself, I intend to spark creativity in my students as well. Because I understand that each student is unique in the way they process information and learn, I include a variety of approaches in my pedagogy of the flute. I use several method books, articles, and history books, and include different musical genres in my teaching with the intention of awakening the individual interests of each one of my students.
I emphasize the importance of fully committing to the learning experience with responsibility and gratitude, and to engage in every lesson with the understanding that improvement occurs when both student and teacher hold themselves to the highest standards of excellence. Teaching is my passion and a key part of who I am as an artist, as it assures that I rise to the responsibility of passing on to the next generation the precious legacy that flutists from all around the world have carefully carved throughout centuries of flute performance and pedagogy.
