It is a privileged for me to help students work toward goals that they are passionate about on a musical instrument.

I am very meticulous and often do not let subtleties of opportunities sneak by. Read More

And I am a great encourager. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my undergraduate days, as I began teaching private lessons part-time 7 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students all across the globe in the US, Singapore, and Taiwan. I have worked with beginner, intermediate, and advanced players and adjusted to their needs accordingly, as well as gained valuable knowledge on how to efficiently resolve the difficulties encountered by the students.
