TEACHING AND INSTRUCTION
As a music educator with over 17 years of experience, I have developed a specialized curriculum that has helped numerous individuals of all ages with their musical abilities. It is important to tailor the teaching approach to each individual’s personality and needs. I will teach you how to teach yourself effectively. Music is part of a microcosmic system, and musical modes have been closely associated with the movement of the universe. The concept of ethical power is based on the mathematical analogy between the relationships of soul movement, string vibrations, and celestial motion.
