Teaching Philosophy
As someone deeply influenced by rhythm and melody, I find myself captivated by any sound I hear while walking down the street, often picking up the entire melody. For me, music is a way to make people feel comfortable and relaxed. In my teaching, I emphasize that it's not necessary to push oneself to a high level all at once; instead, focusing on basic exercises is crucial. In my classroom, for children aged 6-12, I use games to make learning easy and stress-free. Through various tips and techniques, students can achieve the best results effortlessly. For adults, I incorporate popular music to spark their interest in learning. I believe that without these engaging methods, students might loose interest in learning rhythm and melodies.
Musical Education
I have an honours BA in music from Fu Jen Catholic University, which included performance classes and Orchestra class in classical music. I studied both violin and piano privately from the age of six until the age of twenty-one. Teachers I have been mentored by Academy of Taiwan Strings concertmaster-TAN ZHENG, Universität Mozarteum Salzburg- ZHAO GUO-JI, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign- LU YAO-ZU, also had joined master class of Cho-Liang Lin, and the training I underwent was rigorous and detailed. My piano teacher was trained in Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität, and was likewise detail oriented with exceptionally high standards.
Special Skills and Trainings
I spent my childhood watching my mother teach piano in the living room. She is an impeccable teacher with over 40 years experience as a professional pianist and a dedicated educator. My training was primarily at home, and as such, functions at a deep and natural level within me. My mom hope one of the children could follow his industry, so I'm the one who follow her step.

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!
