My teaching experience dates back to my undergraduate days. As a French Horn teacher, I teach multiple schools in China.

I coached elementary students on basic piano skills, like Bayer piano introductory course, Czerny Op. 599, Op. 299, Hanon sixty exercises for the piano, Piano Adventures by Nancy and Randall Faber, John Thompson's Modern Course for the piano and Sonatina album.

I'm a kind and nurturing teacher who has been playing the piano for thirty years. I work with students of all ages and ability levels, including students who are neurodivergent, students with physical disabilities, and students who don't speak English.

My favorite teaching moments are when the lightbulb turns on and my student has their "aha!" understanding of a new concept. Read More
