Teaching music is both a privilege and responsibility to me to help students discover their unique talents and potentials. I realize that all students have different personalities and strengths that make their unique signature of sound and musicality.  My responsibility is to set a good standard of music and teach them techniques to become skilled artists who are confident using their ability to express themselves.  Here are some of my teaching philosophies and methods:

1. I believe children/youth can have good sense of music and musical ability when proper education is given at proper age. 
2. I give them achievable goals and appropriate challenges for students to motivate themselves for higher level. 
3. I presume nothing.  This helps students to understand and review the fundamentals of flute playing and musical concepts in deeper level. 
4. I emphasize how to learn, how to listen, and how to practice effectively.  My goal is to make them become independent learner with solid technique and practice habits.
5. Since not everyone learns the same way by the same pace, I design each lessons differently incorporating different learning styles. 
6. I help my students to play music correctly but more importantly to play expressively.
