“My teaching philosophy is based on the concept of the uniqueness of each student’s individuality. Therefore, my goal is to discover the distinctive personality of every student and to bring it to a higher artistic level. I pursue my students to develop deep interest and passion for music as a form of art and use it as a means to express themselves and to make it their lifelong companion. I believe in a combination of inspiration, strict discipline and warm personal relation with every student and their family.”
