Summary
Besides my active life as a pianist giving solo concerts as well as chamber performances in Philadelphia, Indiana and Shandong, China, I am also enthusiastic about sharing my musical understandings and helping music lovers exploring their musical interests and achieving their musical goals. After systematical exploration of the development of music, I am confident about helping students understand the classical masterpieces and take the power of the music to enrich their mental lives.
