• Overview about Teacher Jie Ying

• Hi,  I’m Ms Jie Ying. I have been teaching the piano since 2008. Besides  teaching, I do piano accompaniments regularly as well, having  experiences with a wide range of instruments in concerts, exams and  competitions.

• During my journey in teaching, I have met many students, ranging from 3 years to even up to 70 years old.

• The  joy of seeing them eagerly wanting to show you what they have  practised, being able to play a song from nothing, and simply just  seeing improve makes me contented and motivated as a music teacher.

• Every  year, I try my best to organise performance classes, concerts or  recital for my students, kids and adults to perform. I believe it is  important for students to have the opportunity to perform in front of  their peers to build up their confidence, and most importantly share the  joy of music with others.

• Throughout  my years in learning piano, even to tertiary levels,  was given many  opportunities to perform, not only that, a chance to be involved with  fun educational music group activities, so that we can also have fun  with our fellow peers besides attending the usual 1 to 1 serious piano  class. All these pieced up together, helped me to mature and grow as a  well rounded musician. This is what I’d like to try my best to provide  for my own students too. I believe that by having a more holistic  approach, students can then really understand what is music all about,  and that music is not just about hitting the right notes and producing a  sound.
