Teaching Philosophy

As a piano teacher, my mission is to help students find the joy in music. During the journey, I want to develop in each of my students a well-rounded understanding of music, which involves reading, ear training, theory and historical content. 

Discovery learning is the theory that I like to apply in my teaching. Instead of telling, I’m leading students to come up with questions and brainstorm answers on their own. My ultimate goal is for each student to have an open conversation and participation during their study. A solid foundation for technique is the key to professional-level playing. Musical expression is pointless without good technique. To teach students moving hands and body correctly can help them getting a better sound in terms of color and accuracy. This also can avoid possible injuries that could happen during practice sessions.I believe a friendly and encouraging environment is very essential to students’ development. Genuine positive reinforcement can motivate students to improve in all aspects of musicianship and take pleasure in his or her success.
