Students at different ages have different focuses and learning habits! I like to discuss short-term lesson plans and long-term goals. Structural learning and clear targeting can motivate every piano student! For younger students, I like to add body movement, drawing, games and singing to my lessons, to bring variety. For older students, I like to discuss with them what music they are interested in, and broaden their music repertoire.
每一個人的年紀、目標與學習習慣都不同，我與學生/家長們討論短期學習計畫與長期目標，按部就班地學習，適時的驗收成果，可以讓學鋼琴更有動力！年紀較小的學生，我會將繪畫、遊戲、唱歌與肢體律動帶入課程中，課程的多樣性能夠隨時讓他們保持高度的專注力。年紀較大的學生，我通常會先與他們討論喜歡的音樂種類，朝著這個方向去規劃他們的課程。

Piano Lessons are beyond the Keys

你需要學的不只有彈琴...
Why is classical music so beautiful? Because it reflects a composer’s true emotionality. This might seem complicated, but I guide students to connect a composer’s feelings and reasoning to the techniques used in the framework of a composition. This deep dive is called “Music Theory” which can be fascinating and fun! Sometimes this can be stimulating and satisfying, like solving a math question with a formula; other times, I ask my students to become composers so they can write their own music. Piano learning is always diverse and engaging for my students
為什麼古典音樂總是這麼扣人心弦？因為這些音樂反映出作曲家最真實的內心世界，並將音樂用“複雜”的方式表達！學生經常在回課的時候跟我說：「老師，這段我一直都練不好！」這時，我的回答通常是，我們一起來分析這段音樂吧。在這些音符的背後，總是藏了很多作曲家的秘密，為了要解開這些秘密，我們需要學習“音樂理論、創作背景...等來理解這些作曲家。就如同數學，我們需要 一些公式來解題。我喜歡在鋼琴課程加上音樂理論、鋼琴文學，並帶學生了解作曲家的背景，做全方位的學習。有時，我會讓學生練習作曲，角色互換，當他們是執筆的那個人，他們想怎麼說出自己的故事呢？
