About
Had top professional piano professor training me since the age 6 . I taught piano composition for 17 years (Since 2005), Part of my class also trained Piano Professionals as well. My focus is quality with very strong academic and skills background : BA-Musicology and piano in top music in Asia, and Master Degree in USA . I never cut corners, even when it's more expensive to keep pursing my Piano career. Some of my competitors are cheaper, but I will take the time to make sure you are 100% satisfied and joyous. In addition, I offer student more opportunities to learn different area and skills since I am an arts manager , I established a training center and startup the music school, and led new music development to education.

Nina is a gift to our families lives. What she has done and is doing for our family is tremendous. Our children LOVE learning a new language and how to play the piano. She is engaging and has customized lessons maximizing both of our children's potentials. They throughly enjoy working with her and we are very grateful.

I've been taking pianolessons from Miss Nina for 3 months. I took lessons as a little girl and I didn't know how to go about finding the best teacher to work with me. Google and sheer luck connected me to Nina, and I'm loving it!

To say Ms Nina has been an amazing teacher is an understatement. She is passionate, patient and the right amount of strict. She makes sure you know and understand what she teaches you and always makes sure you really digest the information given to you. Couldn’t ask for a better teacher and always enjoy taking lessons.

My 7 years old beginner has lots of joy for the first couple months of lessons. I wasn't sure how lessons over Skype would go but for us it's worked perfectly well and made it very convenient. Nina seems an experienced and competent teacher, she is a friendly person, flexible to schedule times with, and has a pretty streamlined process for getting everything arranged. Most critically, she is very professional and patient for laying the solid foundation of knowledge for a beginner like son. Nina's musical technique is very profound and enriched. you will be incredibly impressive regarding her professionalism and musical vibe.
Details: 6 - 9 years old • Yes, the student can read music • No formal training • Classical • Yes, the student has a piano • 60 minutes • Remotely (phone or internet)

My two kids follow her study almost 5 years. my older boy like her "German teaching style" very rigorous, and attention to detail. She gave my kids very strong and good foundation. My little one like piano but hate competition. So, during her class, specially designed unique course content for my girl.
