• Full-time piano teacher

Qualifications: 

• Grade 8 practical, currently pursuing ATCL to take in 2021

Experience: 

I've started teaching piano in a local music school in 2016 and from 2018 to present I've been focusing on teaching only private students. I'm a full time piano teacher with 30 students. My students are as young as 3.5 year olds to retirees. The highest grade I've taught is currently grade 6.

Overview:

Learning piano should be enjoyable and fun! As long as a student enjoys what he or she is learning, they would then be able to maximise to their fullest potential! There is not one fixed teaching method that I apply to all my students as I believe every student is different, I would always tweak my methods such that it could be adapted better by the student.

Most of my students would find that I'm approachable and amiable as I do not believe in scolding or being extremely firm with students and this might lose trust between the student and I. I believe that students and teacher should work together as a team so that we can successfully attain our short and long term goals set in our piano journey!

I've been playing the piano since I'm 6 and have not stopped since, I've not stopped learning the piano and am still embarking on more qualifications.
