Teaching philosophy:

Learning piano is fun. I use different approaches with different kids to make them fall in love with piano and learn most efficiently. I take piano teaching very seriously and I feel very responsible about it. I believe each kid has his or her unique talent, and my job is to help figuring out one's greatest potential. I emphasize the building of fundamental techniques and I guarantee results. My students can progress through the materials twice and even triple times faster than students attending a private music acedemy, and with solid foundation. My hope is through my piano lessons, my students can ultimately be their own teacher one day, and be able to perform with the highest skills.
