"I began teaching at the Chopin Academy of Music in 2013. It is an ideal place to build a teaching career because it consistently attracts quality students, with families that commit long-term. The focus on teaching excellence with a balance of independent choice of curriculum within multiple study tracks is beneficial for both the faculty and the families we serve."
