What makes my studio different?
Learning to play the piano can be so rewarding in so many different levels and it also has so many benefits, developing devotion, discipline, intellectual intelligence, patience, self-esteem and artistry.
One of the best ways to cope and handle emotional stresses and situations in life is through music, and I believe that it’s truly the therapy for the soul and mind, helping someone cope and deal with their own emotional and mental state.
My students learn how to express themselves emotionally as well as expressing their thoughts and feelings through music. It also helps them reach the levels of intellectual intelligence.
I get my students used to proper practice routines and habits in the studio, in order for them to accurately practice on their own at home when given their assignment and material to practice for the week.
