My educational work is based on five principles:
- Listening
- Creativity
- Relationship
- Responsibility
- Artistic Excellence
Music education is not merely the transmission of knowledge.
It is the cultivation of perception, imagination, responsibility and artistic individuality.
My goal is to create learning environments in which musicians discover their own artistic voice while learning to contribute to a larger musical community.
