My teaching experience started back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons 6 years ago. I've taught piano/music theory/history/aural skills for many years, and my students had won many international piano competitions and earned music theory certificates. I have also taught private piano lessons and piano master class in Aspen Music Festival for P.A.L.S program, and was also invited as a guest artist to Kim International Piano Festival in Minneapolis, where I had private piano lessons and organized a music history/theory class. I am currently teaching group piano lessons and private piano lessons at Manhattan School of Music as a piano assistant teacher.

In my experience of working with children in the past, I am aware of the importance of positive role models in the life of a child. As a teaching assistant, I would be able to have a major impact on students’ lives in both an educational and social context. For young beginners, I will establish an overview of how music works both on the keyboard and scores from the basic elements. To make students get interest on music by using vivid imagination and words is my purpose. I will also let student have ability to read the music by their own, and train their independence to practice to learn a new thing. My goal is to let students understand music, develop their own personalities into the music.
