Piano lessons overview

My teaching approach is centered around fostering creative and expressive musicality through engaging and interactive lessons. I focus on developing sight-reading skills and honing technique to enhance overall performance. With a specialization in teaching Piano, Upright Piano, and Electric Keyboard, I tailor lessons to suit students of all levels, including kids, beginners, and adults. To enhance learning, I leverage tech tools such as Backing Track Libraries, Chord & Scale Reference Apps, and Virtual Piano Apps. These tools not only make lessons more interactive but also facilitate a deeper understanding of musical concepts. I follow a structured curriculum that emphasizes a strong foundation in music theory combined with practical application. With a diverse audience of 20+, I personalize each student's learning journey based on their musical goals and abilities. By incorporating sight-reading practice, technique drills, and creative activities, I ensure a comprehensive learning experience. My methodology strengths lie in cultivating a passion for music while building a solid technical skill set. Let's embark on a musical journey together and make your piano lessons both enriching and enjoyable!

There’s a rare balance of joy and purpose in the way music is taught here in Yan west End. It’s been especially great for kids who thrive on both structure and fun something that’s hard to find and makes all the difference.

After starting piano with Yan in Westpark, my 8-year-old really took to it. Yan ’s interactive digital piano made learning timing and technique more engaging. My daughter now practices independently, which shows just how effective the lessons have been.
