ABRSM Grade 8 practical, Grade 5 theory

Currently studying for Diploma and Grade 6-8 theory

I  have been playing the piano since I was young. I currently have four  students under me learning piano. Playing the piano is my passion and I  hope to impart it to my students. Through piano playing, children can enjoy the benefits of better brain performance, creativity, vision, and perseverance.

Patient  and soft spoken. I am methodical in my teaching approach and I am good  with children and adults. My strength lies in helping the student to  cultivate strong fundamentals (playing technique, reading notes, musical  expression, theory, ear training) by progressing in all aspects every  lesson. We then move on to cover a wider repertoire of pieces across  different genres to learn more complex piano skills.
