Aida's Philosophy on Music Education:
Regardless of their experience, I applaud a student's initiative to learn music. Something inside is calling them to sing/play and express themselves. It is my task to do everything I can to make the learning process as fun and wonderful as it can be. Being successful can take a lot of work, but the gratification one gets from a job well done, from the creativity that comes with music, is insurmountable. .
