Teaching Philosophy    

​

我從小便熱愛音樂，但因家庭經濟狀況，我未能得到正統的音樂訓練，所以我只可以在家裡透過聆聽來自學彈琴。直至十三歲，神帶領我到一間教會，我才有機會學習鋼琴。雖然其他人都會質疑十三歲才學習彈琴是較遲，但一對一的鋼琴課實在影響我很深，尤其是對於音樂理解﹑聆聽﹑唱歌和表演上我都得到很大進步。所以我認為一對一音樂教授對學生是有效。

 

我學習音樂不單是只是興趣，我希望自己可以將音樂帶給更多人，因此我選擇了入讀香港教育學院主修的音樂教育學士，而這四年的音樂訓練讓我更有效裝備自己。作為音樂教育者，我認為不論學生來自什麼的家庭背景，他們都有一定的潛質﹑能力和機會去學習音樂。音樂是世界語言，即使一個沒有受過正統音樂訓練的學生，都能夠感受音樂的力量，因此我認為沒有人可以被剝削學習音樂的機會。我是一個有耐性及關心學生需要的老師，我的教學目標不止是教導學生奏出不同的音符，我希望我可以培養他們的音樂鑑賞能力﹑明白及分析音樂及演奏技巧，以至將來他們能夠奏出自己喜愛的音樂並分享給更多人。

 

I love music since I was very little. I enjoyed playing the piano, something happen to exist in my home, but I did not have a chance for taking formal lessons to develop my interest in music until I was thirteen when I was given a chance to begin piano lessons. Although this was considered a late start for musicians, private study does make a big difference in my musical understanding, hearing, singing, and performing. Therefore I strongly believe in the value of one-on-one training.

I am fortunate enough to study music not only as my favorite pastime, but as my academic major eventually, and I would like to share this gift with my students. As a private instructor, I see that I am rather patient, and I care for the needs of individual students. I firmly believe that young people have great ability to learn music regardless of their backgrounds. I see that music is a universal language; and even a person without formal musical training can feel its power to express, and therefore I think that no one should be excluded from opportunities to learn music and experience music more through private music lessons. My teaching goal is more than teaching students to learn to play musical notes, I also hope to cultivate their appreciation, understanding, musicianship, and performance skills, and I hope that my students will be able to play the music they love and share music with others.
