Teaching Philosophy 

​

Ava's teaching style is interactive with her students, in a flexible style, in order to provide them the opportunity to explore their musical taste yet in a structured manner to make sure they keep improving. She aims to enable her students with a firm command of piano techniques, and she teaches from methods that provide different aspects of learning music, including music theory, music history, ear-training, improvising, composition, and performance. Although books play an important role in organizing the lessons and provide a coherent approach in learning the piano, she strongly believes that parts of her piano lessons should focus on creativity and imagination, and therefore allowing the students to explore the music world. For younger kids she uses methods that contain fun themes and illustrations, therefore helping them to stay motivated to learn the instrument.
