TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
教学理念
Beyond Learning to Play
Great teaching is about more than mastering the next piece or preparing for the next performance.
I encourage students to think independently, listen deeply, and develop discipline, imagination, and confidence - building not only accomplished pianists, but a lifelong relationship with music.
