Lesson Content

Learning through play based and tailored to meet students' needs and interests, lessons are always full of enjoyment, curiosity, and learning, along with building confidence, boosting motivation and stimulating creativity. After all, students find joy, happiness, and love in learning.

Building solid foundations and musical concepts such as good hand and sitting posture, fluency in music reading, good musical ear and sense of rhythm, proper piano techniques, music theory, music history, musical interpretation etc. It does require lots of time and patience but the rewards make it well worthwhile.

Pieces will be chosen from different musical periods. Improvisation, composition, scales, sight reading, theory and aural will be covered in lessons too.

Students are often encouraged to participate in competitions, recitals, and exams. It will not only let them enjoy the journey, but also bring them fruitful, memorable and rewarding experiences.
