About the teacher:
First, Professional. Holding a Master in Music post-graduate degree, the teacher has been teaching piano lessons professionally for 17 years. She has a solid theoretical foundation in music teaching, composition, and piano performance.
Second, a kind attitude with patience, as well as a proper method for different levels of students. She has taught students who easily pass ABRSM grade 8. She also possesses excellent patience with young kids under the age of six. During the last ten years, her goal has been to solve an important issue: how to make students interested in piano playing. Most kids who learn the piano would give up before or during their teenage time. However, 99% of them regret it when they grow up. In Christina's lesson, she will acknowledge to the students and parents clearly what difficulties they will face during the process of music learning.
It's more important that students learn to develop a good habit, a worthwhile hobby, and the perseverance that will benefit their whole life.

About the class:
For beginner students, this class aims at teaching the students basic theory and music composition skill. The teacher will teach step by step, from learning music notes to writing down a melody, including adding chords and accompaniments.
For students with basic music foundation, this class will teach rules, regulations, and other issues in music composition. How to combine different instrument to make a harmony? How to make your tone memorable? Learning music is similar with learning a language. Theoretical foundation is important in music practice.

About the price:
Depending on the distance. If the travel time is less than half an hour to the students’ home, the price will be the same as at the teacher’s home.

Dear parents and students, welcome to my profile!

I am a professional opera singer who has performed in theatres and concerts in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Greece, Romania, and Hong Kong, has won international vocal competitions, been an adjudicator in vocal competitions, and given vocal masterclasses in secondary schools. Currently, I am an official singing and piano teacher at an arts school in London, where my classes are always fully booked.

I have always enjoyed teaching and can teach a wide range of repertoire in English, German, French and Italian. My lessons are mostly in English, but of course I can teach in Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese too. As a private singing teacher, all my students have won local and international competitions, and obtained excellent results in their exams. Some of them even decided to choose music and opera as their future careers. Although I am based in the UK at the moment, I still would love to help students who like to learn opera and classical singing in Hong Kong. Do not worry, I am experienced in giving online classes and you will not feel distant from me. You will enjoy my classes.

Yet, I see many more responsibilities being a teacher. Besides sharing knowledge and experience with my students, I am also the person who:
- enlightens my students through their journey of music;
- my students can rely on and talk to;
- influences them to embrace differences and be kind;
- makes them aware of their values and proud of themselves.
I want to be my students' friend and teach them with a humble and empathetic heart. My students like sharing their stories and ideas with me outside the lessons, sometimes about books, sometimes about philosophy, sometimes about the world, sometimes about the industry, sometimes about anything in life. I always make time for my students.

Besides singing, I have been a pianist and piano teacher for 13 years. I was usually the accompanist for my students in their competitions and exams. I am based in the UK at the moment, but I will arrange good accompanists for my students. If I can fly back to Hong Kong when my students take their exams and perform in their competitions, I will accompany them by myself.

My qualifications are as follows:
The Chinese University of Hong Kong
Bachelor of Arts (Music)

Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel
Master of Music (Classical Singing)
Postgraduate in Classical Singing

Licentiate Trinity College London Vocal Performance 97/100 Distinction
Licentiate Trinity College London Piano Performance 90/100 Distinction
DipABRSM Piano
ABRSM Grade 8 Music Theory

Please feel free to contact me and let me know what you want to learn and achieve! Have a super lovely day!:)

Learning to play the cello can be a tremendously rewarding hobby, but the cost of lessons often puts it out of reach for many. As an accomplished 15-year-old0 cellist, I’m planning to change that narrative by offering high-quality instruction at a relatively affordable price.

My systematic approach guides students through the fundamentals, from proper bow hold to tuning techniques. I will teach with proven methods like the StringBuilder and Suzuki books, ensuring a solid technical foundation while preserving the inherent fun of the instrument.

With over 7 years of cello experience and a ABRSM Grade 8 Distinction, I possess a deep understanding of the instrument and the ABRSM examination process(and have lots of tips for effective practicing!). I would like to teach students up to Grade 6 ABRSM and work as a coach to help students prepare for their upcoming ABRSM exams(if they desperately need any help). In fact, I am having the honor of performing at the prestigious Carnegie Recital Hall in New York City this summer.

Recognizing the unique learning needs of young students, I'm particularly excited to work with children ages 7-12. My own youthful energy from my young age will create a welcoming environment where students can explore the cello without pressure or intimidation.
