• RECEIVED MARK MOTHERSBAUGH SCHOLARSHIP AWARD
I believe that the examination process is a very important and beneficial aspect of the study and understanding of music. In my fifteen years teaching, I have gained an extensive knowledge of the expectations and standards of the Royal Conservatory of Music Piano Examinations and use this experience to prepare students for success at these examinations as well as examinations in music theory subjects including Rudiments, Harmony, Counterpoint, History and Analysis.
In my years as a teacher I have had numerous students that have become career professionals, teachers, performers and even a doctor, all of whom have said to me that their education in music was an integral part of their learning process. It is my goal and desire to instruct students in the study of music to the best of my ability while making it an enjoyable experience not a chore, but more importantly to instill a love of music that will enhance your life and bring you happiness that you can share with anyone

Jenny Jin
Jenny老师,橙嘉音乐专职钢琴陪练老师。配合主课老师帮助学生高质量完成作业。其部分学生已成为老师演出主力学生。
多年弹琴,和长期陪练经验让Jenny老师更注重学生以下几点能力的培养。
其一,帮助解决学生的畏难情绪,特别是初学者。老师会根据个人的接受程度,分解作业难度,让学生感觉解决难题不再遥不可及。其二,提高学生练琴效率。及时指出错误,让学生不在错误问题上浪费时间。针对学生反复犯错的难点,帮助学生找出解决办法。第三点,注重学生的识谱能力,引导他们将学到的音乐理论知识运用到实践中。Jenny老师相信良好的弹琴习惯(如时值的准确,节奏感分明,音乐语句和段落表达清晰等),只有在平时练习中不断注意,通过日积月累的才能养成。
