I enjoy helping my students discover the fun and beauty in music, and also help some of them rediscover their interest in piano. I always aim to inspire their creativity during lessons. It is also important for me to have a positive influence to my students. Some of my adult students have become friends and many of younger students have maintained a longlasting relationship with me.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I would schedule a trial lesson to see whether the student and I are a good match. We would talk about goals and expectations. I’ve worked with many different students before, so during the trial lesson, I could give precise insights immediately on how I could help.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have plenty of experience in performing publicly, and I have a master’s degree in Piano Performance from one of the world’s leading music colleges so I am qualified to teach advanced students. I also have 10 years of teaching experience and have actually started my career teaching beginners and kids. I consider myself to be very versatile and flexible with what my students require.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.

How did you get started teaching?
I’ve had some wonderful mentors since I was a child, and I always knew that one day I would be just like them. I eventually started when I was a master’s student in London and have been loving it since.
What types of students have you worked with?
I’ve worked with students from 3 to 70+ years old and of all levels. Around 50% of my students prefer a more systematic training for short term goals like exams and competitions, whereas the other 50% is learning for enjoyment.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Schedule a trial and experience whether the teacher is engaging and is able to communicate effectively. Every student is different so the teacher needs to be versaile and flexible to specific personalities and expectations.
