I know it’s been tough for all of you, it’s been tough for me too. Sometimes I feel great, more time to do what I’ve always wanted, but other times I feel terrible, not able to do a lot of things I used to regularly. It sounds contradictory doesn’t it? Either way I still feel… Continue reading Focus on Your Dream
I love playing outside! (would be even better if I could move my piano out) Of course I have to play my own songs, and here’s my favorite “Autumn” for you. Enjoy!
I hope you all are doing well and staying healthy. I know everyone’s doing their best and staying in and keeping others safe during such trying times. I know one day this will pass, and we will meet one another again, in person. I miss you all, my students and their parents! See you all… Continue reading Teresa Wong Piano: Imagine by John Lennon
This coronavirus situation has been devastating to all of us in so many ways around the world, especially for those of us who have a stay-at-home order to follow. It’s uncomfortable, stressful, depressing, anxious, boring, scary, and more. It’s also at times unusually calming, relaxing, comforting, loving, caring, connecting and then some. It’s definitely a… Continue reading Focus on yourself
It has been a successful couple weeks of piano lessons conducted online. I have been updating our YouTube channel to help students practice – I know my students need my support more than ever during such trying times! 🎶🎹😊
A lot of students said they could or wanted to play this classic piano piece by Beethoven – “Für Elise”. Often, they mean playing that one part everyone knows about. Finally, someone as a piano beginner actually tried to learn the whole song, in quite a short time. I was pleasantly surprised. Great job, Martin!
Wonderful kid. Yuzuha can play three different versions of Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars. Here are two of them. I love seeing students in person, but for now, we might have to resort to online for a while. But nothing can keep us apart – music always connects!
I’m loving our new learning mode: online lessons! Due to the current situation, students have moved to taking piano lessons temporarily, and we’re still connecting and engaging through music via virtual space! I’m also surprised to find some students do really well (maybe even better?) through this channel. I guess young kids these days are… Continue reading Our Online Piano/Music Lessons!
I recently stumbled upon this composer’s piano quartet recording when I was searching for some “newer” compositions than those I already knew (like the classic Brahms, Schumann, Dvorak and Elgar). I really enjoy this piece and thought I would share with you all. In this times of chaos, we need something beautiful and calming to… Continue reading Music Recommendation
I started teaching when I was about 17. I taught at this little music store inside a municipal building in Hong Kong, in which you could also find wet market and little shops. It was not the most pleasant experience that I quit after a few months because the teaching condition was not so good:… Continue reading My piano teaching experience (I)
