Constance

I am a professional pianist with a great passion for teaching. Originally from Hong Kong, I moved to the UK in 2009 and was awarded the “Most Promising Pianist” at the Godalming Music Festival the year after. In 2017, Eastern Daily Press wrote of me as the “Talented Pianist”

As a performer, I perform frequently across the UK, mainland Europe, and in Hong Kong. In 2016, I collaborated with world-renowned pianist Noriko Ogawa in a piano duet concert, and I had been a concerto soloist with the University of Cambridge Philharmonic Orchestra in 2017.

Being an active performer mean I am constantly learning, and that helps to constantly renew my ideas as a piano teaching.

Experience: I teach on my Steinway Boston grand piano at my studio in Surbiton, London. My students will learn the right techniques on my professional instrument. Having gained a wealth of teaching experiences in the U.K., Hong Kong, India, and China, I am able to tailor lessons for individuals, regardless of ability, age, culture, and purpose.

I welcome pupils of all abilities, from beginner to diploma standard. I am familiar with the ABRSM and Trinity graded and diploma exam syllabuses, and theory elements are also introduced in my piano lessons. I am able to help GCSE and A-level music students prepare for their performance exams.

I endeavour to provide an all rounded music learning experience to my students. It is equally important to listen and appreciate, play by ear and to play by sight. Making music helps one to express complex emotions that cannot be conveyed by words. Even though practising the piano may often be hard work and require persistence and discipline, I device fun and manageable exercises to motivate my pupils to practice. Improvisation also plays a huge role in my teaching as I have discovered that the ability to improvise has great impact on reducing performance anxiety and improving sight-reading!
