SUZUKI VIOLIN / VIOLA TEACHER OTTAWA SUZUKI STRINGS
September 2023 – Present
The Suzuki Method's core principles align with many of my philosophies that promote compassion, patience, and continuous learning. As such, I value personal growth, skill development, and positive relationships with myself and others. I am passionate about teaching Suzuki violin because of the profound impact it has on shaping the minds and fostering personal growth of not only the students, but also the parents. This opportunity allows me to share my knowledge, experience and empower the young minds for the future; and witness the unique transformation in each of the students and their families.
