About Summer
In terms of the actual teaching, I based much of it on my own positive experiences with my music teacher at secondary school. My music teacher was endlessly inventive and enthusiastic and it was her enthusiasm that, more than anything else, I tried to incorporate into my own teaching. I felt – rightly – that children and young people, adults too, would be enthused and excited by music if I was enthused by it, and I made sure everyone learnt and played music which they enjoyed, rather than which might be “good for them”. I quickly saw the benefit of my own lessons in my students’ playing as well as my own. In addition, I started attending courses and workshops to enhance my professional development, and began to connect with more piano teachers too.
There is no “one size fits all” in teaching because all children – and adults too – are individuals and deserve to be treated as such. I know each student’s strengths and weaknesses, what music they particularly enjoy, and how much or little they like to be pushed by teacher. I’ve always been a natural communicator and it’s not in my nature to be overly didactic: I want to empower students by giving them the tools, and confidence, which encourages self-discovery and independent learning.
Even as a teacher, you never stop learning. I think my students are intrigued by the fact that their teacher continues to study and have lessons herself. Perhaps the most significant thing I have learnt over the past years is that learning is a continuous, ever-changing process. It is satisfying, occasionally frustrating, and deeply fulfilling to watch students develop, find their musical voice and tastes and, above all, to gain pleasure and enjoyment from their music making.

A typical lesson is 1.5 hours, but this is flexible and can be tailored to your needs.
I have taught several students before, who are of different age groups (between 6-12 and 25-30). I would travel to their houses to give the piano lessons.
I started playing the piano when I was 3 and received the ABRSM Grade 8 (Pass with Merit) certificate when I was 8 years old. Ever since then, I have been playing the piano as a hobby, and have represented my school several times to perform. My grandmother was a piano teacher so I grew up learning how to play the piano from her. I hence hope to pass down her kindness and knowledge to others.
My lessons are for people of all age groups who are interested to learn the piano, and I design my classes according to the student's needs, so the lesson plan is different for each individual, depending on several factors such as the speed of learning.
