Teaching philosophy:
Learning piano is fun. I use different approaches with different kids to make them fall in love with piano and learn most efficiently. I take piano teaching very seriously and I feel very responsible about it. I believe each kid has his or her unique talent, and my job is to help figuring out one's greatest potential. I emphasize the building of fundamental techniques and I guarantee results. My students can progress through the materials twice and even triple times faster than students attending a private music acedemy, and with solid foundation. My hope is through my piano lessons, my students can ultimately be their own teacher one day, and be able to perform with the highest skills.
I started giving piano lessons when I was a college student at the University of Illinois.

We have a trial lesson where I learn about the student's goals and current level. I also determine the appropriate learning materials for the student in the trial lesson.
Besides children students, I have taught college students who are very advanced. I maintained a studio of 20 adult students while I was a TA at the UofI. I have worked and I am currently working with some students with learning disabilities.
Look into the instructor's credential/education background. If you are learning classical music, it is very important that the instructor is a good performer as well. You want to find someone who is patient with the learner, yet not without standards.
My studio rectial at the UofI. I was able to help some late beginners to successfully complete a recital and some students returning to piano after years without lessons.
