I am always interested in teaching children, especially teaching music. I have been teaching piano since 2009 and one of my teaching philosophies is student-centered teaching method. I design appropriate lessons and curriculums for different levels and ages of students. Some of my students have asked to play songs from peppa pig, Bluey, sponge bob, or Disney movies and movies, including but not limited to Let It Go, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park. My students are also encouraged to have recitals every year.

I encourage students a lot and make the lessons fun for them, for younger students, they play nursery rhymes that they know how to sing, so it keeps them motivated, for teenagers, they are more interested in pop music, so we sometimes work on the pop songs they want to play. For beginning students who are children from age 5 to 8, I include games to help them learn to play. Once they are more advanced, they will start playing popular nursery rhymes, repertoires for performances, theory, and techniques. For teenagers and adults, I start with Alfred Adult lesson book and I discuss with them what are some classical pieces and/or popular songs they want to play in the future and when they are ready to move on, we would start working on those. Overall, I always keep the lessons fun and engaged in every level and ages.
