    Tailor Made Piano Lessons for All Ages and All Levels

    I hold a Master of Music degree in piano performance (with merit) at Goldsmiths, University of London and have taught piano and music theory to students in Hong Kong, Beijing, Zhejiang and London for over fifteen years.

    I welcome students from beginner to advanced level and am equally happy to help my students pass music exams or just learn to play piano for their own enjoyment.

    When teaching kids and beginners, I strictly follow the traditional conservatory method of training the postures, fingers and muscles properly from the very beginning of the learning process. And for kids, I highly recommend that parent(s) can help monitor their practice at home.

    For adult students, the most important thing is to analyse your performance, to find the problems that prevent you from playing better, face them and fix them. I provide creative solutions according to your conditions. I helped a senior student (60+ years old) to pass ABRSM Grade 8 with merit, a 20-year-old student to play keyboard and sing in his band after 10 lessons, and a high school student to get music scholarship in UK.

    I believe in the power of encouragement and motivation. And always remember, practice makes perfect.

    I teach in Mid-Levels West, Hong Kong.

    I teach through English, Mandarin and Cantonese.

    About Me

    I was born on the island of Zhoushan, China and began piano lessons when I was four years old with my grandfather, a multi-instrumentalist and conductor. I then studied privately with Lijuan Tang, one of the leading young pianists in China, who at the time was at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, regularly travelling overnight on the ferry from Zhoushan to Shanghai to attend my lessons.

    Having moved to London to pursue my musical studies, I trained with most distinguished British pianists Andrew Zolinsky and Danny Driver and completed a Master of Music degree in piano performance (with merit) at Goldsmiths, University of London.

    My repertoire ranges from Baroque, Classical and Romantic to 20th and 21st Century piano, with a special love for early 20th century impressionists such as Debussy, Ravel and Albeniz.

    Education

    I completed a Master of Music degree in piano performance (with merit) at Goldsmiths, University of London in 2016. Prior to that, I read mathematics in Peking University and economics & finance in The University of Hong Kong.

    Experience / Qualifications

    In London, I performed regularly with Goldsmiths Sinfonia, Goldsmiths Keyboard Collective, Goldsmiths Contemporary Music Ensemble and Goldsmiths Chamber Choir all around London including Southbank Centre. I also performed in Joanna MacGregor and Graham Fitkin's masterclasses.

    In Hong Kong, I performed at events such as Hong Kong’s Celebration of Anniversary of P.R. China and Hong Kong SAR Anniversary Celebration in The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

    I passed Grade 10 (top level at that time) piano performance exam organised by Shanghai Musician Association, China and Grade 10 music theory and ear training exam with distinction at the age of 11.

    Piano and music theory lessons to students of all ages
    I am an advanced musician, having achieved my Licentiate diploma in piano (with AMEB in Australia), my Associate diploma in flute (with AMEB in Australia), and my ACTL in music theory (with Trinity College). I taught piano throughout high school, University and on the side of my full-time career as a lawyer. I can teach beginners of all ages and students who are working towards Grade 6 or 7 standard of Trinity College or the equivalent. I am also happy to teach students who would like to learn for fun or for performances, rather than for exams. I make lessons fun, engaging, and motivational. I am extremely passionate about teaching. Please get in touch if you are interested.

But I am professional in speaking English, Cantonese and Korean as well. I am confident that I will provide my students the best learning experience.

    Music Lesson : Wanna learn one method that you can play all the musical instruments ?

I am a jury in Music Competition in Hong Kong and gains numbers of " Best Teacher Award" . I speak Cantonese, Mandarin and English. I specialize in tutoring beginners. However, I love teaching seniors and advanced players. I have been tutoring for 20 years to the age from 3 to 80. It has been a great time to discuss music with all level of students. Students not only learn technical skills, they will also learn music history, theory, and performance skills. Most of my students took part in competitions and in orchestras.

    Stella
    Royal College of Music Graduate - Piano Performance - Music Theory
    A former scholar at the Royal College of Music London, sponsored by The Kenneth and Violet Scott Award, I earned a degree in Piano Performance under the tutelage of Nigel Clayton, Peter Jablonski and Ruth Nye. I was also a recipient of Talent Development Scholarship awarded by the Hong Kong Government Scholarship Scheme.

    Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
    I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

    Lydia
    Piano Lessons in Classical and Contemporary Styles for Beginning-Advanced Levels (ages 6 and up)
    Welcome to my piano teaching studio! I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons for students of all levels. As a pianist with over 14 years of teaching experience in Europe and the USA, as well as over 23 years of playing/performing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the learning process. If the student is interested in a more structured approach, I guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano and music theory exams where my students consistently receive highest marks. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions, masterclasses, and competitions in the Europe, the USA, India, and Canada. We have class concerts at Pianos Maene for interested students twice per year. I am happy to provide either a more relaxed or a serious approach to learning piano, we simply need to discuss the personal goals and preferences of each student. My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate performance degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music” (under the guidance of esteemed professor Sergei Edelmann). Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis (with Prof. Lydia Artymiw) and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (with Dr. Tamas Ungar). My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist and collaborative member in several orchestras, and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio in central Antwerp and look forward to meeting new students.

Cela leur permet de voir une démonstration visuelle très claire à côté de mon explication verbale. J'obtiens d'excellents résultats avec mes étudiants qui travaillent en ligne. Je vous donnerai des cours de piano en ligne personnalisés. Pour les débutants, j'utilise les livres de méthode Alfred, mais je suis très ouvert à l'utilisation d'autres livres également. J'aime enseigner et expliquer des choses générales, des habitudes qui peuvent être appliquées à des passages musicaux similaires, que l'on retrouve dans toutes les partitions musicales, de la musique classique à la musique moderne.
