An individual approach for every student
Elzas teaching is based on defining what one wants to achieve in his or her personal playing and make a step-by-step plan on how to make it happen. It is also very important to have an individual approach for every student for achieving one's goal. Depending on the level, she can help with very various things, and  can always switch directions of the playing and have fun every lesson.

She prefers students who have basic knowledge of notes, sight-reading and major/minor meaning, but she can also teach students without previous knowledge. It is just gonna take time and patience.
