Instruments:
When beginner students start lessons with me I generally use a Lesson Book and eventually a Technique Book and soon after some kind of Theory Book to learn behind the music. For the lesson book for beginners I like to use the Alfred's Series, which has all kind of levels of beginning piano whether you are 4 years old up to adult. For the technique book I like to use a Hanon series, which I start first with exercises by rote and patterns until the student can read music and understand the exercises in the book. There is a theory book I like to use for older students who are later beginners or who have already taken lessons before and there is a Notespeller Book I recommend instead in the Alfred's series for younger beginners. If a student has taken lessons before and starts lessons with me I will see what books they have and if they are interested in continuing with those, or possibly changing to the Alfred's series, or ready to start branching off into more advanced pieces of music like classical, pop, rock and anything they like where we can get sheet music.
Instruments:
I specialize in helping students understand music theory and structure, even with beginning students. I feel that a deeper understanding of music is essential to keep students engaged and help them feel like they’re really learning the language of music rather than just learning instrumental technique. This knowledge readily translates into improved performance ability, as well as a much increased aptitude for composition/arranging/songwriting. I always provide exercises and techniques for students to practice at home to promote rapid progress in instrumental technique.
Instruments:
Customize teaching methods, which depends on individuals personality and learning style. Because I've been teaching more than 10 years. All ages, all levels. School and private setting. I accomplished and dedicated professional with extensive experience and a passion for Music. I have two master degrees, master of Music Education and master of Music Therapy. Experience in music theory and history, playing instruments, singing, coordinating selections, preparing annual performances, leading choirs and rehearsals, accompaniment, and teaching others. Effective and multi- lingual communicator, fluent in English, Mandarin, and Taiwanese, able to build cohesive and productive working relationships with people of diverse backgrounds in group and individual settings.
Instruments:
I had my first set of students while still in school. I've been teaching ever since. I use a mix of standard lesson series, and supplement with music of the student's choosing. With children especially I review with them and their parents what they need to practice between lessons. I give parents who need it a quick intro to the piano keyboard -- it's hard to help your child succeed if you aren't familiar with the instrument yourself. I am always available by phone to answer questions between lessons.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
