For the last 15 years, my teaching has focusing on two parts: highly advanced students from music schools, and amatuear students age from 4-76. I have worked in many music schools teaching piano major and minor students preparing for professional performance careers. Including broad selections for repertoire, constant developing of finger strength and technique, preparing for competitions, auditions, and performances. I've taught in these music schools including 2 elementary, 3 middle, 4 high schools, and 2 music departments of universities. I've also taught in community colleges and my own studio for amatuer students. From observing each students personality and the music genre they like, the technique they need to build up, I find it very interesting to design suitable lessons for each student.

For beginning students, I choose Alfred's Basic Piano Library and Faber Piano Adventures, and other brands/materials that fits the need of the student. I often made teaching materials myself, as well as writing music for my students. The most important thing for beginners are keeping interest and correct postures. Starting from songs the student recognize usually helps. For advance students, I usually recommend repertoire covering all 4 classical periods, plus etudes and finger trainings. Every student is different, and every book has it pros and cons. I use different materials for what the student need at the time, usually multiple books for using every book's good/suitable parts.
