Naira’s Instructional Approach
Naira combines teaching methods to meet each student’s needs, emphasizing the technical foundation that supports continued musical growth. Her approach encourages thoughtful practice and a deeper connection to the music students play.
She also encourages students to listen to music and attend concerts regularly. Hearing other musicians can spark curiosity, provide inspiration, and help students discover new possibilities in their own playing.
For Naira, learning an instrument is about developing skills while experiencing the enjoyment of making music yourself.

Practice Tips
Always start your practice with a warm-up. This will help your practice to be much more productive and help you avoid discomfort and injury. I also like to emphasize the importance of scales and slow practice.
