I'm a young musician who came from another side of the world to pursue music and art professionally. Studying Art in my lifetime taught me a lot that I'd like to share with other students. I always try to give another perception of what most of us see, and dive deeper to music itself and also the philosophical aspect of arts.

I have played different genres of music such as Classical, folk, and jazz. Currently I study Music performance at uOttawa and give weekly music lessons to my 15 students.

Creative Approach and Experiences Offered

My creative approach which is a result of my recent researches and practices, is creativity and improvisation. One of the common ways of music-making is improvising, something that we all do almost everyday (not necessarily in music though).
There are various benefits in improvising, and different ways to approach it too. For instance, there is group improv. and solo improv., and they both have their own styles and require different kind of attention and initiative attitude.

It is more about the practice of creativity in a free setting to express the real message, rather than to create a masterpiece. This focus on the self can lead to therapeutic improv session, social, and a fun way to deliver messages, and also, learning a way of communication, while improvising as a group.

The activities can be accapella (sung by voices), rhythmical (clapping, body percussion, drum sticks, etc.), and the last but not least being instrumental improvisation.
