Welcome to my piano education website. It is my hope that this place will provide useful information for piano teachers and students.
As a piano teacher, I always strive to create a rewarding and joyous experience for students of all levels and abilities. I aim to help students develop their performance and musician skills through fun and encouraging learning processes.
Even though I am now a piano teacher, I still consider myself to be a student. After receiving my doctoral degree, I still practice daily and try to perform regularly. I also work occasionally with professors for concert preparation or to improve my own playing. As such, I see this as an informative place for anyone who plays piano, from beginners to professional musicians, and who would like to find more effective practice tips and better onstage performance outcomes.

Performance Videos
This page is where I share my practice journey, along with the pieces that I have prepared for performances.
Piano Tutorials
I absolutely love to make video tutorials, as they provide a fantastic practice aid for students. They are also a great compliment to their piano lessons.
Online Course
Here is where you can find my online beginner piano courses. They cover basic piano techniques, reading notes on the staff, & understanding rhythm. After a few lessons, you will be able to play a full piece of recognizable music.
My Blog
This blog will document my teaching and performance journey. It ranges from the challenges and daily struggles I’ve experienced as a teacher and performer to simple tips I’d like to share. I also like to post some memorable and funny moments I’ve experienced with my students in their lessons.
This semester, in our studio, there are many intermediate and advanced students who are working on Beethoven, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, etc. Their pieces are certainly highly demanded in technique and musicality…
