Tutoring Experience

My teaching totals over 10,000 hours in 10 cities and 3 countries. Among my students who went on to take ABRSM /Trinity exam which 95% achieved distinction. I am proud to report that over the years, some of my students successfully passed auditions at the NYO orchestra, Music Festivals during the summer.

• Taught Piano students from age 4 to 30, specialize in beginner/ intermediate tutoring
  鋼琴學生年齡4歲到成人，初學到中高級程度為主。

• Taught violin and viola students from age 4 to 70, specialize in small group tutoring
  小/中提琴學生年齡4歲到成人，一對一教學或是小團體為主。

• Most of the students focus on playing instruments at a good level, rather than exams. As the result, they all have good fundamental techniques and end up getting Distinctions and Merit from the ABRSM exams.
  大部分的學生都是專注在基本功 而不是為了考試而上課，所以當他們參與考試時，結果都非常理想。

Tutoring Approach

My teaching style blends playfulness, positivity, and friendliness while setting expectations of hard work and high standards for music quality.
I take high responsibility in teaching my students and, in return, I expect involvement and dedication. I ask them to work hard and master basic skills through consistency and high-volume training. Gaining secure technique early on means the student will have less difficulty with music in the later stages of learning. While this may seem quite severe, I make the exercises more fun by turning them into games, especially when teaching young children.

I always try and encourage my pupils through praise and constructive criticism. The use of positive language when criticizing raises the self-esteem and motivation of pupils and by asking the pupil how they think they played and to identify problem areas creates a more pupil-directed environment, allowing the pupil to learn what they can learn, in their way and at their speed.

At the end of lessons, I encourage students to have some fun with the instrument, such as improvising, exploring the range of the violin, or playing through their favorite piece. I find this encourages the student’s creativity, confidence and allows their personality, both musical and social, to shine through.
