ABOUT TEACHING
Into the unknown…
As none of us remembers how we came into this world, we truly do not know anything until we experience it firsthand. That is why I fully value the potential of each individual. What a thrilling process it is to open the door to the unknown!
​
The consequences when the doors open can vary greatly. Sometimes, it is shiny and promising; other times, it can be daunting. However, I am confident in stating that even barren lands deserve the highest quality of nutrients so that they may ultimately bloom and become part of this beautiful world.
​
Begin your piano journey with me, and together we will explore the joy of new discoveries. I assure you that the journey won’t be easy. At times, I may not hesitate to place you in challenging situations, but don't worry—I will never forget to provide encouragement and support!
