Piano/ Keyboard playing for Music Lovers of all ages
From 64 C$ /h
I provide piano lessons for children, adults, retirees and anyone who share a love for music. Whether your interest is in classical or popular music, Western or Chinese songs, I'm more than happy to share my skills, experience and knowledge to enable you to enjoy playing the piano just as much as I do. I have more than 20 years of experience teaching children and training adults. I'm an Associate of Trinity College London (Piano Performance) and hold a Master of Education degree (University of Hong Kong). Currently residing in North York, Toronto in Canada, I am eager to share the joy of learning with students around the world via my webcam. I am well experienced using Zoom or other online platforms of your convenience.

About Me
I grew up in Hong Kong, where I worked as a Music and English teacher for more than 20 years, after graduating from the University of Toronto. Currently based in Toronto, I've continued music teaching through in-home piano lessons since 2017. The pandemic outbreak in March 2020 led me to switch over to online teaching. Since then I've received encouraging feedback from both parents and students. With various effective ways that I've developed to highlight teaching points and demonstrate practical techniques via webcam, I sincerely hope that the joy of online piano learning can be extended to other music lovers around the world. My musical interests range from classical to popular genres, and from traditional to contemporary styles. Let me know about your interests, or simply your favourite tunes, and I'll be more than happy to tailor lessons to suit your learning needs.
