I offer an approach tailored to your needs (playful, based on learning songs, or more formal with college or university-level learning materials, etc.) You will learn the sounds of your instrument, the proper posture for comfort, rhythms, and techniques useful at all levels of learning. You will learn the specific mechanisms of each instrument and its relationship to other percussion instruments in traditional ensembles. For intermediate musicians, you will be able to develop a practice routine, learn a series of exercises to refine your mastery of your instrument's sounds and your dexterity on it. You will have the opportunity to learn more about the roots of your instrument and develop a rhythm library to use according to your goals. For advanced musicians, we can explore how to conceptualize your place within a music group or percussion ensemble, as well as different approaches to your instrument adapted to popular, jazz or global music contexts.

I hold a Doctorate in Music from McGill University’s Schulich School of Music, where I specialized in percussion under the mentorship of internationally acclaimed performers and pedagogues. My musical training began with classical piano studies at the age of five and continued with rigorous instruction through my adolescence. I studied with teachers trained in the Chinese Central Conservatory tradition, whose pedagogical lineage includes disciples of renowned pianists such as Fou Ts'ong and Yin Chengzong. My piano repertoire covered major works from the Classical and Romantic periods, and I was a regular participant in national youth competitions and conservatory masterclasses in China. In percussion, I studied under Aiyun Huang and Fabrice Marandola—both leading figures in contemporary percussion—and took part in masterclasses with Steven Schick and Dame Evelyn Glennie. As a performer, I have collaborated with ensembles including the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal and leading contemporary music groups, bringing a versatile and international perspective to my musical work. I have taught both piano and percussion to students of all ages and levels, from absolute beginners to advanced and professional musicians. I teach all styles of music—classical, pop, jazz, and contemporary—and tailor each lesson to fit the student’s individual goals, interests, and learning pace. Whether working with amateur students exploring music for the first time or preparing advanced students for auditions and performances, my teaching is grounded in respect, encouragement, and a commitment to developing each student's unique artistic voice.
