The strengths I have cultivated and rely on in my teaching are rooted in my diverse background. Two significant factors have shaped my growth and process as a pianist and musician. First, my initial musical training and development were strongly rooted in Taiwan. In Taiwanese music educational system, they enhance the training in theory, music history and aural skills. For the yearly high school and university entrance examinations, each applicant has to take theory, aural skills and music history exam, and these grades has a significant impact on the final decision regarding the school you will attend. Because of the rigorous training in theory and music history, not only am I able to easily grasp the composition’s structure and musical background, but it also offers me a framework for interpreting pieces and making informed decisions regarding phrasing, dynamics and expression. Furthermore, my love and passions through the piano and its ability for beauty and virtuosity were cultivated during my studies with Lina Yeh at National Taiwan Normal University in Taipei. Professor Yeh was a student of Hans Leygraf, who was a pupil of Schnabel’s student, Gottfrid Boon, due to this teacher-student relationship, I was fortunate enough to feel a strong connection to German piano music. Professor Yeh had influenced me profoundly, particularly in regard to composers like Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms. One significant aspect of my musical interpretation leans more towards Classical music. As a teacher, it is my goal to build a great teaching environment where they can sustain their passions. Through heavily relying on fluid technique and comprehending the underlying musical structure and harmonies, my desire is for my students to be able to utilize music as a communicative tool and eventually pass on this ability to their own students one day in the near future.
