At the heart of our teaching philosophy is the goal to become "useless" to our students. Our mission is to equip them with all the tools they need to become independent and knowledgeable musicians. We aim to instill a sense of confidence and self-sufficiency, ensuring they can thrive without constant guidance from a teacher.
Our approach makes the learning process active and engaging, moving beyond mere imitation or repetition. By fostering a deeper involvement in their own learning, students feel more capable and are less afraid to make mistakes. This empowers them to take ownership of their musical journey and develop into skilled, autonomous musicians.
We believe in demystifying music by explaining how it works, why chords progress in certain ways, why key signatures change, and exploring the lives of composers. This approach is applied at every stage and for every level of student.
No concept is too complex to be simplified. We never think, "It's too soon" or "You are too young." If we can't teach it in simple terms, we don’t fully understand it ourselves. Our goal is to make even the most challenging ideas accessible and easy to grasp.
Embrace the mistake! We believe in learning together, and mistakes are celebrated, not apologized for. We never say "sorry" or "oops." Instead, we cheer for our students' mistakes, as they are crucial for truly learning and developing new skills.
