My Piano Teacher

For those students who really don't have the time (or money) to attend concerts, there is always youtube! The following videos are some of the performances that I recommend my students to watch. I hope that this will boost your interest in music and to inspire you to want to play as well as them!

Please take note that the performers featured above have undergone a lot of training and practice to reach that standard. As the chinese saying goes 'tai shang shi fen zhong, tai xia shi nian gong' (ten minutes on stage is equal to ten years of effort off the stage) It is not something that you could achieve easily or in a short period of time, but with lots of practice and patience, it is possible. So I really do hope that you would be inspired to put in more practice after watching the videos!
