Teaching Philosophy
I specialize in guiding children to learn the piano through engaging and creative teaching methods. I tailor my approach to each student’s unique abilities, designing personalized lesson plans that foster their individual talents. My goal is to create a rich musical atmosphere where students can actively explore the piano with curiosity and enthusiasm. Beyond technique, I encourage my students to discover the deeper meanings and emotions within musical pieces, helping them connect more personally with the music they play. I believe that genuine interest is the key to a lasting and fulfilling piano learning journey.
Musical Education
I am a highly experienced and dedicated music teacher with 18 years of piano instruction. I hold a double degree in Piano Performance and Music Education from the prestigious Shanghai Conservatory of Music. With a strong foundation in both performance and pedagogy, I offer comprehensive piano lessons, music enlightenment education, and tutoring for all levels of the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) piano and theory exams in Canada. I am certified in piano, music theory, and music education. My experience includes working as an examination listening teacher and private piano instructor at the Shanghai office of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) headquarters. I have also served as a judge for the Shanghai, China division of the Bastian International Piano Competition, reflecting my expertise and professional recognition. Committed to personalized instruction, I adapt my teaching methods to fit each student’s unique learning style. I offer both online and in-home lessons for students aged 4 to 60 and am fluent in Mandarin, Shanghainese, and English. Lessons are available in Burnaby, British Columbia.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
