“Music is a language of expression, you listen and try to feel the performing’s emotion and expression. And vice versa, you play and try to let others know what you are feeling.  Music should be a part of everyone’s life as a way to express themselves. Music studies had been passed down for generations, and I would love to be a part of that network to pass down this incredible language to the next generation of musicians. 

I believe that hitting the right note at the right time is only half of the process in learning a piece of music. Without phrasing and transferring of expressions, everyone would be playing the same piece of music in the same way. Everyone is unique, so why should we all play it the same way? Students will acquire the necessary techniques throughout the course of learning to develop his/her own style of performing and to phrase at will.  Imagine singing “Happy Birthday” without any change in dynamics and pitch, it would be a very boring song.  Students will learn how to bond with the instrument as it becomes an extension of their body.”
