Piano Lessons
Music lessons are tailored to the need of the student whether playing for enjoyment or for academic progress. Although lessons start with a well-rounded classical music program, they are supplemented with pop music and arrangements of pieces that students choose. I love teaching my students a piece they have chosen themselves and watching them dive into the learning with real enthusiasm. It makes it such a privilege to teach. That’s why I love teaching, love the piano and love my students.

Exam and Festival Preparation
Students who wish to pursue piano or theory exams or music festival take regular weekly music lessons under the Graded Lessons category. Exams are recommended for students who are highly motivated by exam preparation and evaluation. They are not for every student. It is also recommended that piano exams be 2 or 3 years apart because exam preparation necessitates a narrow focus on requirements for the exam, which means there isn’t time to explore lots of other aspects of learning. Also, an exam is not necessary in order to progress to the next grade level.
Music Festival is a very positive and good learning experience for students who love to perform. Their participation can be on a competitive or non-competitive basis. Students who perform in the Music Festival play in a class of their peers and receive an evaluation from a master teacher.
