Instruments: Piano
Styles: Classical, Pop

I have taught students since the beginning of my high school years. I have taught both Piano Performance and Music Theory based on the examination program of ABRSM (The Associated Board of Royal Schools of Music). Some of my students have reached distinctive scores in their respective levels. I have been involved in performances as a member of chamber ensembles and solo recitals every few months in my experience in UCSD. I have also been requested to perform in churches and play on the piano in their services.

For the beginning, I will start with Hal Leonard brand of music lessons. Although I was taught the ABRSM method of teaching, I understand that there is importance for the student to grasp the basic fundamentals. I will also begin to introduce appropriate music as solo pieces for their first recital performances. I encourage all styles of music and believe that to truly enjoy learning music, one must first understand why they love the music they hear in their everyday life. Students are also encouraged to bring in popular music that they wish to learn. In short, there are three facets that need to be balanced. Learning fundamentals, some form of classical music, and also popular music. To adhere to only one style will stunt the student's musical exploraion.
