What is your teaching philosophy?

I build a creative environment where students feel encouraged to explore their sound and grow through curiosity and discipline. I graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2024 with a degree in Contemporary Writing and Production, and I strive to inspire students the way my mentors inspired me.

In your opinion, what is the right way to teach and what do you do in your lessons that makes you a good teacher?
