Learning effectively- music lessons

Introduction: Who I am I am a performing arts performer and an educator. I teach piano, flute, music theory, and aural skills*. Where I locate I live in Newark, NJ. I also go to students house in Manhattan areas(contact for more info!). I also teach online lessons. Fee structure If you take lessons in Manhattan area at my studio, it is $60 per hour. If you prefer home lessons, please send me a message first then I will give you a quote, it will depend on your location. I will go to adult students house for 45 or 60 minutes lessons; as for students younger than 10 years old, there are choices of 30, 45, and 60 minutes lessons. What does work with me look like My teaching style is goal-oriented. Usually I will set a goal with my students to achieve in a certain amount of time. The reason is, I do expect my students to practice and refine their skills in between classes, and I will provide as many useful techniques and methods as possible. I hope my students can improve because if they improve, it is more likely they will stay motivated in the long run. What are my experiences I have taught piano and flute for a long time, most of them are age 4- 48. I have taught in different countries and cities, including Taipei(Taiwan), Madison (WI),NYC and Queens(NY), Jersey City (NJ). I can speak fluently Mandarin Chinese and English. My music style is mainly classical. Sometimes will do some jazz, blue, folk and broadway. I am a classical trained musician. My piano and aural skill teaching and performance experiences: - Preparation for ABRSM all grades - preparation for New York State School Music Association exam all grades - Agape music & arts center instructor - church pianist/organist (2004-2015) Send me a message if you are interested in listening to my students’ playing * (aural skill include ear training and music theory. In this lesson, you will learn to listen to music more acutely, and play/sing back what you hear. It is VERY useful to improve quickly in your music lesson no matter what instruments you learn. )
