My goal as piano teacher is to free the students' potentials as musicians and to serve them as a mentor. It is very important that they achieve the highest level of performance, but that they also fully function as a person who lives in a society and interacts with other people. I encourage my students to be part of their culture and society, attend concerts, art expositions, movies, read, listen, watch, breath, exercise...live! To be a musician someone must be disciplined but also, be curious, have passion, drive, fire, and love for life, arts and humanity.
