About

"Virtual" Or "In Studio" Private Piano Or Violin Lesson For Adults and Children Age 4.5 - Older. Beginning-Intemediate-Advanced Levels. Classical - Pop - Blend Of Jazz Styles. Monday - Sunday.

I'm an Artist In Piano + Violin & School Teacher. I'm a poetic player with fire. A family noted "Miss Yu is a very gifted teacher who has high standards and is warm and encouraging in her unique way". I created a teaching Method "Mental Health For Our Daily Life" is to foster the mind to speak with the eyes before fingers come to play. Students and families have found it improving their learning tremendously.

I use selective books to take care of fundamentals, theory, technical skills, and broad repertoire pieces for individual's interest.

I specialize in problem solving in reading, technical, interpreting musical phrases, enriching tonal dynamics, adding embellishments, and crafting finger touch on keys to create special sounds; cry, laugh and sing in my student's play.

I'm strict and I believe good return come from discipline and an opportunity to try before giving up. Learning any instrument needs all that. I dedicate my responsibility as being a teacher is to make sure students go home with something achieved from each lesson.

Nothing can be better than teaching; you learn as you teach; you gain knowledge from confronting what you can to make happen during the learning process with students. It's a joy to be around with varieties of music and students every day.

    Thank you Miss you but I can not drive to your residence every week. When I take lessons, I like to have a set time each week, and not miss classes. Sincerely, Carol

    My two grandchildren have loved playing piano since the 1st lesson with Ms Yu. They practice on their own because her teaching method opens the door right away to fun with the keyboard AND discipline.

    My two kids are now 10 and 13 year old and have been taking lessons from Ms Yu since younger. They have vastly different learning styles and quite different degrees of comfort with music starting out, but Ms Yu has genuinely connected with them both. She has helped them to find the joy of music, as well as an astonishing degree of technical competence in sight reading, finger strength, passion across many different musical styles, especially considering thats only a year and half weve practiced with Ms Yu. Her lessons are playful and empowering.

    We love having piano lessons with Ms Yu! She is so great at keeping my 7 yr old son focused and engaged, which is a meaningful and essential skill for a young child. And on top of it, he gets to learn playing piano!

    Ms Yu provides great piano lesson experience for adults and children! I started by taking my 6 yr old to Ms Yu and then started taking lessons myself (having taken lessons as a child). Professional and knowledge, Ms Yu works well with children and meets them where they are while helping them to progress and improve.

    Ms Yu will tailor your lesson for your individual styles. I began by taking my niece for lessons and now were both students. There is not a minute of time wasted. Each lesson advances your mental connection to playing and your technique. She is both a wonderful educator and musician.

    Frequently asked questions

    Let them feel you're the teacher that they can trust and get helped by. I give clear sense of instruction where it's heading and why. I implement ways to build student's confidence. I select good and coherent course books.

    Teaching is in my blood. It meant to be.
    Beginner-intermediate-advanced. Age 4 - 89
    Working on a large piece little by little and finally it's playable. That's an achievement!
    The teacher must be patient, detail oriented, notice your mistakes and correct right on the spot, share and give out knowledge as much as possible and be generous, clear sense of instruction and tell you why, discipline student. Pick out good books + songs for each individual. Follow up what learned from previous week. Must a creative teacher and give new fresh ideas.
    Just say what's in their mind and let teacher and student work out.
