As a music educator, my teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that every student deserves a safe, inclusive environment where they feel empowered to explore, create, and express themselves through music. I am committed to fostering a classroom culture built on mutual respect, trust, and ecouragement; a place where all students feel seen and heard. Music education is a powerful tool for personal growth, and I strive to nuture not only technical skill and musical understanding but also confidence, collaboration, and an appreciation for the arts.

A central aspect of my approach is incorporating movement into the music curriculum. I believe that engaging the body in music making enhances learning and helps students develop greater body awareness, rhythmic accuracy, and emotional connection to the music. Through activities such as body percussion, improvising, and rhythmic games, students are given opportunities to internalize musical concepts and build a deeper, more personal relationship with the music they perform and create. This active, kinesthetic approach supports diverse learning styles, encourages creative risk-taking, and cultivates a more vibrant experience with music overall.
