Piano Lessons in Brookline Village, MA

Instruments: Piano Music

I have been teaching privately for the past 15 years and I have had students of all ages and levels. I strongly encourage young children to have good and constant practice habits as this not only helps to succeed in the pieces they are working on, but it makes music learning all the more enjoyable! I do focus mostly on a classical and traditional approach of teaching but I am always open to working on specific music a student may want to learn as well. Read More

What works for a 5 year old child, doesn't work for an autistic child. I’m flexible in my teaching, some students prefer classical music more than others. Im willing to try a new music style; if one loves a piece one will practice it in addition to the given piece that develops his(her) finger technique, dynamics, phrasing, articulation, so children can perform a song rather than simply reproduce notes.

I create my own lesson plans specific to the students need and goals. There are core elements to my teaching that are constantly enforced, including my level of importance placed on rhythm and the aural tradition of music. Singing melodies, clapping rhythms and drum parts. Listening to music and talking and a gentle musical analysis of what we are hearing. I believe that everyone is first a person then a musician and then an instrumentalist. Read More

I started teaching my son since he was 5 years old and have helped him win several piano competitions throughout his teenage years. For the past ten years or so, I have been teaching at private music schools, community music schools and my home studio. With every new student, I begin the first lesson by understanding their past experiences of leaning music, what interests them the most in music and what they expect to achieve through my lessons.

I come from Wuhan, China. When I was about five years old, my parents bought a piano, and I began my first piano lesson. I was not feeling comfortable or patient to practice, which was similar to many other kids. I once quit my piano playing for three years during junior school for not having enough time and energy to continue, however, I found the outburst of my enthusiasm towards music at the age of sixteen, and soon I picked my forgotten piano skills up.

When it comes to jazz, I think learning the basics of the language is key! I like to use Jim Snidero's book "Jazz Conceptions" for many beginner to advanced students to study etudes that will help them internalize the ins and outs of what professionals play in their improvisation. I also encourage students to experiment on their own time on what kind of music they want to play, while also encouraging them to practice material that will propel their musicianship, especially for beginner and intermediate students.

My experience teaching started when I was 16, a junior in high school, where I taught a few students each week. I then went off to junior college where I studied voice, piano performance, and vocal jazz. I had the amazing opportunity to perform Saint Sean's Piano Concerto No. 2 Mvmt III. in g minor with the orchestra. I then began my studies at Sonoma State University where I earned my Bachelor's degree. Read More
