I started to teach group music class and private lesson when I was in undergraduate. I always try to bring everything I learned from performance, music education, observing other music teacher and my own experience to every music lesson I gave.

Other than introducing the music to my students, I also encourage them to perform, because sharing music is also part of the learning process. Read More

Learning must be fun and it must improve ones understanding of the subject at the same time if it is to be rewarding. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

The technique that I've developed over the years is that while guiding the students through the singing process, I keep them focused on findingandconnectingwiththeir voices.
