Personal Description:

I am a trained classical musician and teacher with 16 years of teaching experience. I am also a HCPC (Health and Care professions council) qualified music therapist. I have experience playing the piano since the age of 6 as well as the percussion, violin and guitar throughout my studies in music. Ever since I was young, I was exposed to art and music-related environment. During my secondary school years, I attended a music-talented class where piano, percussion, music theory, aural training, and orchestral playing were emphasized in school. Besides solo piano playing, I also participated in various ensembles, orchestras, and operas as a percussion and piano player. Throughout the past 4 years in Cambridge, I have performed at West concert hall and Mumford theatre.

Tutoring Experience:

I started teaching piano since I graduated from the University of Leeds (2007). Alongside piano teachings throughout the past 13 years, I also worked as a programme specialist, supporting pupils with concentration issues, ADHD, Asperger’s to achieve their potential abilities. I have also done various early music education trainings such as Orff music movement and Musik Garten. My passion towards music encourages young children to learn music and the piano with creativity and allows for positive growth in early development.

Tutoring Approach:

My music lessons are regarded as creative and fun. I believe interests and passions towards music are the primary elements to keep piano learning motivated. In addition, I see myself as a genuine and caring person who treats pupils with great patience and aims to build nice connection with both the pupils and family. Encouraging pupils to practice is also a key element which makes piano learning successful. Most importantly, I believe that learning the piano is not only about learning the music but about understanding ourselves and the world, building up relationships, strengthen self-esteem and expressing emotions which can fulfil our basic human nature. I view that learning an instrument will be the best decision in your lifetime.

From Helen (5/5): I am a mature piano student never having played the piano before and have been tutored by Sunny for a year. In that time she provided the necessary skills, advice and support to enable me to pass Grade 1 and Grade 2 piano. Sunny was extremely reliable and made the lessons very enjoyable. She was very patient and helpful and never once made me feel that I couldn't achieve my goals.

From Michelle (5/5): Sunny is a great teacher who has patience and warmth with the girls, they enjoy their lessons.

From Lu (5/5): We have been with her for just over a year now. My son didn’t play any piano before, so it was from the very beginning. She was very patient with young kids and has got a way to get them engaged

From Simone (5/5): Sunny is probably the absolutely best piano teacher in the world!!!!! She is amazing!

Reply from: Hsiang-Ting: Thank you! Simone!

From Matthew (5/5): Sunny is great a great piano teacher. I have currently had her for nine lessons and can say she is patient and really wants her tutees to do well. She has a broad knowledge of piano easily answering any questions or queries I might have. I would definitely recommended Sunny to anyone seeking a tutor.

From Luisa (5/5): Sunny has been an excellent tutor for our 8-year-old daughter Emmily. We are very impressed with the progress she has made with Sunny and how engaged and motivated she continues to be after 18 months of weekly lessons.

Sunny is always patient and encouraging whenever Emmily has struggled with a piece. She has given our daughter the opportunity to try and choose different types of music which has helped with her motivation.

Emmily has also been given the opportunity to perform in various occasions along with other students and both Emmily and us have enjoyed these.

Since starting with Sunny, Emmily has come a such an incredibly long way and learnt so much under Sunny's guidance and encouragement, and can now play increasingly complex pieces of music beautifully. Not only has she developed her skills, but she has also developed a love for the piano.

Sunny always makes sure that Emmily receives praise for her efforts and the communication between Sunny and us has allowed us to support our daughter in her journey.

We can only speak highly of Sunny and we are very much looking forward to continuing this lovely journey with her.

Reply from: Hsiang-Ting: Thank you. It's nice to play music with Emmily too.

From Doug (5/5): Sunny is a great piano teacher, always encouraging, very kind and patient.
She is always cheerful and makes me feel at ease. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to piano and music, but she also has excellent teaching skills which is a great combination. Thanks Sunny for all your help so far on my piano journey. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you to anyone who wishes to play the piano.

Reply from: Hsiang-Ting: Thanks Doug.

From Penny (5/5): We are very pleased our daughter pass Grade one piano exam with distinction after studying with Hsiang-Ting. She’s highly recommended.

Reply from: Hsiang-Ting: Thank you. It's really rewarding and motivated to work with your daughter. My pleasure.

From Colin (5/5): As a more mature person I was a bit apprehensive about starting to learn piano. I’d always wanted to learn so I thought I would give it a try. I knew that if I was to be successful I would need a teachers experience and encouragement. Sunny has been a great help to me being both encouraging and constructive in her approach. She is reliable and has a very friendly personality. She is very patient and gently pushes me on and moving forward. I have found working with Sunny very rewarding and look forward to future lessons. Many thanks, and would recommend Sunny to anyone wishing to learn piano.

Reply from: Hsiang-Ting: Thanks Colin,

Thank you for your hard work on piano. It lets me see lots of possibilities. Keep going and may piano journey be one of the memorable experiences.
