“As a product of my prior multicultural educational experience, I take a multi-pronged approach in my teaching that accommodates to the needs and learning peculiarities of my students. My instructional forte has been my ability in aiding students to find their unique potentials and to cultivate their interests in cello playing. My educational philosophy is that students shall find satisfaction and fulfillment in the process of cello playing and learning. By overcoming a variety of challenges posed by my instructions, student will learn to understand the intrinsic values of music. Learning music is not an uphill battle against other musicians in competitions, but a carnival of passions celebrated among music lovers. My goal for all of my students in the past has been one of self-exploration through the challenges, discoveries, and expressions in music. In other words, rather than struggling to become a good musician, my classes are a process of appreciation for both music and life. As a teacher, I encourage my students to explore their music potentials and find meanings in what music is to them. I look forward to sharing my love for the cello and welcome student of all ages, skill levels, and backgrounds.”
