☺️Enjoy teaching. Experienced, patient, attentive and enthusiastic professional Guzheng tutor.

💬Trilingual (Cantonese, Mandarin, English), and I'm native in Cantonese and Mandarin, fluent in English.

I teach Guzheng and Chinese music theory from beginners to advanced students, or for professional purposes. My teaching styles is mixed Chinese and Taiwanese, figuring out which is the best way for students.definitely bringing you a different learning style. I will ask my students lots "Why" on their performance. It helps students think, have their own character in music.


We will focus on basic practice and technical aspects, such as posture, finger strength, movements and articulation. I focus on expression and interpretation of different music pieces, how student think of the notes and how to present music.
We start with tuning and doing basic training, revision of last lesson for 15 minutes, follow by learning those pieces in detail for about 20 - 25 minutes. The last 5-10 minutes will be dedicated to the review and assignments. Besides all these, I will teach basic Chinese Music theory as well to help with better understanding and learning on Music.

*Part of basic training will always in every lesson. This helps students to have a better control of their fingers' independence, and to strengthen every techniques.

For specific learning Chinese music theory students, please bring with a notebook to mark down those key points.
