Personal Description:
I am a qualified Music Therapist (HCPC registered). I am experienced in teaching students of all ages. My goal is to motivate students to explore their interest in music, and to develop their musical expression and sensitivity.
As a passionate pianist, I got 94/100 (distinction) in the LTCL exam. In addition, I was awarded prizes in piano competitions in Hong Kong. Apart from being a solo performer, I am also experienced in playing piano accompaniment for choirs and instruments in concerts and examinations.
I have a DBS check. I also have a broad understanding of developmental psychology and special education, which I believe enhances my practice, as my degree is in Music Therapy.

Tutoring Experience:
I have been teaching piano for 13 years. In the meantime, I obtained a teacher qualification (Post-graduation Diploma of Education) at Chinese University of Hong Kong. I have experience in teaching primary level school children and manage to cater to the variable needs of different children.
Tutoring Approach:
At the beginning stage, I focus on teaching pupils to establish a solid foundation of posture and fingering. As I believe the early habits influence profoundly to the subsequent learning. I aim to provide fun and musical activities which is appropriate for young children in the sense of developing their musical interest. For older children/ adult learners, my approach is gentle and relaxed. I would give clear guidance to my pupils how to practice in order to develop correct piano playing techniques.
Apart from teaching about basic techniques, I emphasize on developing student's musical and aesthetical sense, such as listening carefully to the tone colour and the shape of the musical phrase. I believe learning piano requires pupils to be sensitive to what they played, so as to develop their creativity and all-rounded musicianship. It would be a challenging but also rewarding experience, and I am a positive teacher to be with my pupils to go through this journey.
