Teaching Philosophy
I recognize that each student is unique and has their own learning style, abilities, and musical interests. Therefore, I tailor my teaching methods and materials to fit the individual needs of each student. Additionally, since happiness and play are crucial components of effective learning at any age, I foster a supportive and encouraging environment that inspires students to explore and experiment with their musical abilities. I praise effort and progress, celebrate achievements, and provide constructive feedback that helps the student improve. Furthermore, a strong foundation in technique and theory is essential for a student to develop into a proficient pianist. I also emphasize the importance of proper hand positioning, finger dexterity, rhythm, and note-reading skills from the very beginning.
Musical Education
I studied piano from the age of 3, and it has been a 27-year journey until now. I obtained my certificate in Grade 8 Piano from The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, UK, in 2010. One of my favorite experiences was performing in a music concert in front of thousands of people at the Hong Kong landmark.
Special Skills and Trainings
I worked as a music teacher at a music center in Hong Kong for the last two years. I have experience working with children by organizing summer workshops and teaching extracurricular music courses for children at kindergarten. I have also worked as a private piano teacher for more than two years. Now, I am studying for a diploma in early childhood education, and I have experience working in a childcare center. These experiences have enriched me as both a teacher and a professional child caregiver, providing a high-quality piano teaching experience to children, even the young ones.

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!
