STUDENT'S FEEDBACK
- Teacher from [Keyboard Repertoire: From the Baroque to the 20th Century] module is well-prepared and not only presents the music theories of each repertoire, but also elaborates the cultural/history of composers/countries to let us understand why they have to compose the pieces/write in this way.
- Teacher from [Advanced Piano Pedagogy] is very experienced in teaching Piano Pedagogy. I enjoyed every sec of his classes. His technique is highly advanced, he played beautifully and brought us into the music within seconds. He gave practical advice on what and how should be improved, provided directions according to our level of music exposure. He is humble & very generous in teaching us skills. He shared life experience that made us understand the music industry and what qualities are essential to become a pro.
- Teacher from [Advanced Piano Technique and Performance Practice] helped me overcome the stressful of playing in public and also helped tackling our existing problems so that we can improve; Each student also has a chance to play repertoires with immediate guidance from her.
