Method and Languages

As an experienced teacher, I have studied different method books in the past years and I pick up the best for each students' personal need. Instead of following a particular method book like the traditional teaching style, I sometimes write my own materials and follow a systemetic but personalised lesson plan for each students and assess their individul needs with the combination of different exercices and methods. I can teach in English, German, French, Mandarin and Cantonese.

Not only Piano!

Many people ignore the essential of learning Music thoery. Music thoery is extremely important no matter we play Classical Muisc or improvisations. Some students may choose to avoid reading the notes or feel scare to understand the thoery behind the pieces that they are playing and simply choose to memorize the notes. After a while, they manage to play the pieces beautifully, however, they could not apply the technique that they learnt from one piece to another due to their incapabilities on notes reading. Once a student can read notes and have the ability to understand what they are playing, they can sight-read many more pieces by themselves. I do not want my students to learn ONLY how to play a piece, I guide them to learn how to understand the music that they are playing, to appreciate and interpret the music by themselves, to develop their skills and to use a proper way to play and prcatise at home. To be frank, reading notes is somehow easy if we do it in a correct way.

Some students misunderstand that playing piano is only moving their fingers. NO. We play piano with our feelings, emotion, by our ears, our body and then transfered and interpreted by our hands, fingers, wrists, albows, arms, shoudler and brain. Yes, it is more complicated than we think, however, if we have a proper trainning from the beginning, using the right way to play, it will become a habit and we can play the music naturally.

For the young students

I teach students from the age of 4-6, these ages are good to start learning an instrument (check out FAQ for further information). For those who didn't participate in the group lessons (please consider joining), I would start playing with them by using different instruments/ musical games so the young students would understand the basic musical knowledge, would then gradually apply on the piano and play music in a fun way. The support of parents are very important.

Please do not expect your children would be able to play something fancy from the first few months, we should focus on building a solid fondation and getting the right musical concept.

Cancellation policy

The lesson is charged and cannot be rescheduled if you cancel the lesson within 24 hours of the scheduled lesson (regular lessons outside school holidays). I offer replacement lessons for the lessons that cancelled in time. 

Trial Lesson 

Hesitating? Come for a Trial Lesson! A trial lesson not only gives you an opportunity to know about my teaching methods, but also a chance to discuss about your goal and therefore I could arrange the most suitable method for you for the future lessons. A trial lesson is charged as a regular lesson.
