I am a piano and Dalcroze Eurhythmics (Music and Movement) teacher dedicated to awakening the musicality within the students and cultivating their lifelong love for music through movement-based discovery learning.​

 

My passion is to bring people together to share and create music in an interactive, joyful, and experiential manner that is exciting, therapeutic, and loving. As people move and express themselves in a shared space and go with the flow of the music at the present moment, they open their hearts and form tighter bonds. I believe music is a universal language that connects people, and music is embodied with movement. 

 

With years of experience performing and teaching piano in both China and the USA, I am firmly convinced that children should experience music with their whole bodies before learning instrumental techniques or written music theory. Consequently, I began offering Dalcroze classes for children ages 3.5 and up to prepare them for instrument learning in 2015. Ultimately, my goal is to teach Dalcroze to individuals of all ages, using music as a means to connect their body, mind and spirit, thus fostering connections within and between communities.
