"As a pianist, I strongly believe that unforgettable performances are the result of deep analysis, brilliant technical skill, and emotional connection to what the composer has written. As a pedagogue, I believe that music is invaluable to human culture as it allows people to connect with each other and with themselves to discover a deeper meaning of human emotions and interactions. I aim to bring all of my students into a life-long love of music, while solidifying that appreciation with practical skills and true musicianship in order to help create the next generation of independent and creative musicians."
