My main goal is to help students to pursue their own musical and technical potential at the piano. “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” ― Plato

“It gives me great joy to watch and help students discover their capacity to build masterful skill at the piano. After 2 decades of teaching, I can say that no two pianists are the same, and I enthusiastically accept that it is my responsibility to understand how best to guide them to their fullest potential during their time with me.”

“True music education should involve the collaboration and understanding of all the fine arts. My role as a teacher should be to relate music to art, dance, and history to enrich the lives of my students in depth. Therefore, the real value of music lessons is to prepare the students for the future in making music an avocation, if not a vocation…“

“My goal is not just to teach students how to play, but to help them grow in music, as well as in character. As a teacher, I take a personal interest in every student as an individual and I aim to touch their hearts through music. Helping students find joy in piano is my primary objective. Often practicing can be repetitive and tedious, especially technical exercises. However, those exercises and practices are necessary for progress. By teaching them music theories and histories, they have a better understanding and can adopt the music and express themselves. When guided by proper technique, unnecessary repetitions are minimized to allow them to find joy in music. Most of all, by revealing the wonderful world of music to them and showing them how exciting it is to play and enjoy the music, students seem to experience the music from their heart. ”

“My goal as a teacher is to help each student develop a unique and meaningful relationship with music. I believe that it is only through direct and honest engagement with this art form, that music can make a profound impact in one's life. My students engage in a variety of activities that not only nurture fundamental musical skills, but consistently present challenges for exploration and experimentation.”

“My main goal with a student is to built a beautiful musical journey with him/her while growing and learning together. They would enjoy learning so much and all I wish for my students is to carry on that joyful moment in life. They will become self-motivated to practice by themself. Music eventually became the best asset in one's life!”

My teaching philosophy is to make students improve in technique, musical interpretation and theory all together. I want all my students love music and practice happily.
