I am honored to announce this achievement in my teaching career: my induction into the prestigious 2025 Steinway & Sons Teacher Hall of Fame!

This recognition follows years of dedication to teaching piano performance. I was deeply grateful to have previously received the Steinway Top Teacher Award in both 2021 and 2024, but this latest honor has me humbled. To join the ranks of the world’s most distinguished piano educators in the Steinway Teacher Hall of Fame is a dream come true and a moment I will cherish forever.

The induction ceremony is scheduled to take place in October 2025. I will have the incredible opportunity to fly to New York and attend the celebratory event hosted by Steinway & Sons. It will be an honor to stand alongside my fellow inductees to receive this significant honor.

This accomplishment is not mine alone. It is a testament to the hard work, passion, and musical journey of every student who has walked through my studio doors. I owe my deepest gratitude to all my wonderful students—your commitment to your craft and your love for music are my greatest inspirations.

A special and heartfelt thank you goes to Justin Levitt for the nomination! Your effort and belief in my work truly made this possible.

Finally, to all the incredible parents of my students: your unwavering support, encouragement, and partnership are invaluable. Without your commitment to fostering a musical environment for your children, this extraordinary accomplishment—and all the joy it represents—simply wouldn’t have been possible.

Thank you all for sharing this incredible journey with me!
