Teaching Philosophy

Joanna believes that music is a very precious companion to our lives. It is such a gift and pleasure that one can get to learn and grow with classical music. Apart from training her students the essential skills and knowledge required for piano playing, Joanna also hopes to introduce students to the wonderful world of classical music through her piano lessons. Her passion is what keeps her always seeking for and learning new ideas for her teaching.

Joanna also believes that every student is unique and special. Music education is one of the means to help students discover and develop their potentials. Besides techniques and knowledge there are elements which are equally important in music learning - to arouse students’ imagination and creativity, to develop a sense of appreciation towards the beauty of life and nature, and to enjoy the pleasure of music making and sharing.
