Teaching Philosophy
As a Private Piano Tutor from 2018 to 2022, my teaching philosophy revolves around the belief that music is intrinsic to our being and vital for education. Recognizing the innate connection of rhythm and sound in our bodies, I approach formal music training as an extension of this natural relationship. Similar to an athlete's focus on detailed physical analysis, my lessons begin with tailored warm-ups to support the specific musculature required for instrument development. Creating a positive and engaging environment, I customize lesson plans for beginners and students in grades 1-4, introducing music theory and techniques in an accessible manner. Emphasizing discipline and practice routines, I encourage continuous improvement and foster creativity for expressive musical interpretation. Effective communication, patience, and encouragement define my teaching style, ensuring that both students and parents receive regular updates on progress and goals. I believe that joy is inherent in music, and my philosophy aims to make learning a joyful and enriching experience for students of all ages.
Musical Education
Commencing my musical journey at the age of five, I've cultivated a profound passion for the piano, achieving merits in ABRSM Grade 4, 6, and 8 exams, alongside successful participation in interschool music festivals. At sixteen, I undertook the ATCL Trinity exam, performing a diverse repertoire across four music eras. In Hong Kong, I shared my musical knowledge through private piano tutoring for grades 1 to 4. Serving as a church pianist, I mastered traditional and contemporary sounds, delving into chords and pop music. Additionally, I self-learned the guitar, further diversifying my musical skills. This reflects a commitment to continuous learning, teaching, and embracing the transformative power of music.
Special Skills and Trainings
My musical journey has been marked by notable achievements, including obtaining Grade 4, 6, and 8 certifications from ABRSM, as well as achieving the Trinity ATCL qualification. My involvement in interschool music festivals has further enriched my musical experience. Beyond formal qualifications, my immersion in musical residencies and festivals, coupled with additional private study, has deepened my understanding of music. These diverse experiences, coupled with my continuous pursuit of non-degree certifications, contribute to my unique perspective as an educator. My commitment to ongoing learning ensures a multifaceted approach to teaching, drawing inspiration from various musical traditions and pedagogical methods.

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!
