I have 10 years of teaching experience. I have been committed to teaching since college. My students once won Children's Group 1st Prize and 2ND Prize in 2014 at The Ninth Chopin International Piano Competition China Area” and got Excellent in Piano Grade Examination Stage Ten ( The Highest Level in China ) etc. And my teaching also got good feedback from professors in Central Conservatory of Music, the most famous music college in China. I take full advantage of her knowledge and comprehensive ability to help each student to solve problems, to overcome difficulties. In the process of teaching, I master a set of feasible and effective teaching methods through many years’ experience. I find out different teaching strategies, to help students really learn the true meaning of piano performance. Another advantage is that I am good at teaching in English and Chinese, which also helps those students who have interests in learning Chinese.

I am a very responsible teacher and wonderful teacher, since I could dedicate my knowledge to students to really help them make progress. Many methods are originated from my playing experiences and feelings. Therefore, based on the professional knowledge, I always tell students my real feeling to practice and play.It will help them directly get the right way very quickly! I graduated from the University of Michigan a famous music school in United States. for Master Degree in Piano Performance with Full Graduate Fellowship (it is very competitive), and I got the Full Graduate Teaching Assistant from University of Memphis for DMA degree. I got excellent training not just playing, but also pedagogy. I believe that I am very competent to do a wonderful piano teacher:)

I am good at combine technique and music performance together to teach students. Because I believe that any technique are serving for music, when I teach student, I will tell and teach them why we use this technique to play this music section. For beginner, I will teach them how to build up strong finger and how to complete relax which is very important. These two factors are dependent on each other. I will help them find out the solution to revise their problems to help them really establish correct concept to play professional! And find out appropriate practice methods according to different student individuals.

I am very good at using life example to help students understand what I mean. Although practice is very boring, I could help students explore various practice methods, like the rhythmic changes etc. to help them find out more entertainment. I am very detailed in teaching to tell them how to analyze music and put analysis into playing and many skills to help them overcome some difficulties in different playing factor.
