The piano is a very visual and tactile instrument. Khaliunaa focuses on spending consistent one-on-one time with her students. She understands that learning piano at young age helps students to develop their left brain, fine motor skills as well as their ears. By learning how to distinguish different sounds, and identify melodies with high and low patterns, they will also learn how to string it all together to make music. Through teaching a variety of genres, she has learned how to tailor each lesson to the student's interests and pace so they can progress and enjoy. Ultimately, Khaliunaa strives to instill a lifelong love of music in her students, and show them that no dream is ever too big to achieve!
