Nara’s Instructional Approach

I use a combination of methods tailored to each student’s individual needs. Establishing a good technical foundation is key to reaching their full potential. I encourage listening to music and attending concerts on regular bases as it will inspire and motivate them. As enjoyable as listening to music can be, playing music yourself is even more fun and joyful.
