Teaching PhilosophyI believe music is a gift everyone should enjoy. I centre my teaching on differentiated learning as I believe every student learns in their own unique way; and to be successful, my lessons are student-centred. I love sharing my passion for music with my students, engaging them in the wonderful world of music; and encouraging a growth mindset to empower them to be enthusiastic learners and musicians who can enjoy making music for a lifetime.
