​Teaching Philosophy: "Teaching clarinet is a grace for me to have the ability to do it. Clarinet is one of the most diverse instruments for its timbre, and illimitation in controlling volume from “ppp to fff”. A tip for playing clarinet is to have air flowing in and fingers moving on the tone hole. As my previous professors Guy Yehuda and James Campbell said: 'Just blow more and sing the music.' Thus, I always encourage students to explore deeper into music, whatever deepness it is, air flow, fingerings, music contexts or meaning. I had the fortune to study with wonderful clarinetists such as Guy Yehuda, James Campbell, and Rob Patterson…. I feel it is my responsibility to pass those delightful traditions on to students. As a clarinetist, I cheer for everyone who loves clarinet, enjoys music, and I am willing to serve him or her whatever I can do, through clarinet and teaching."
