Moreover, our innovative methodology benefits every student, regardless of actual musical ability. We offer equal opportunity for everyone to advance in the realm of professional piano playing. Our school is opposed to rigid, mechanical, and ultimately lifeless teaching methods. We promote an emotional, intellectual, and spiritual connection to music and music making.Through our experience in both the Chinese and Western modes of education, we are confident in the high standards of our teaching techniques. The effectiveness of our methods are evident in the success which our students have achieved in the exam for the RCM. The pass rate of our students for the RCM is 100%, while 85% of them have received “first class” recognition.
In the near future, the Studio will be teaching a variety of musical instruments, such as violin, guitar, drums, and trombone, amongst many others.
