Yasmin’s teaching experience spans various lesson settings including in-person and online one-on-one lessons, group lessons and workshops.

The foundation of her teaching philosophy is to offer a safe and joyful learning environment. Upon that foundation, she believes that the key to a successful lesson is the combination of comprehensive technical and theoretical lessons with creative and explorative play. The ultimate goal is to develop the student’s area of interest while simultaneously stimulating an ongoing appreciation for music. Every student is unique, bringing a different set of skills and prior experiences to the table, so it’s essential to implement different teaching concepts to best suit the student’s individual personality and needs. Every question and every obstacle is an opportunity for growth and expansion.

“Free your mind, and your voice will follow! The voice is the most intimate and innately unique instrument - it is literally part of us! So I believe it’s essential to connect mind, body, and soul to nurture individuality and authenticity. You are one-of-a-kind, and I truly believe that this is where your greatest potential lies. My mission as a teacher is to empower you to express yourself authentically!”
