Welcome! Please give more details in the form below about the prospective student. Goals can include any or all of these areas: piano, theory, aural, programme notes, viva voce. These can build towards ABRSM or TCL exams including the diplomas: ARSM, DipABRSM, LRSM, ATCL, LTCL, or other equivalents. I also take on students working towards UCAS conservatoire or university auditions and 11+/13+scholarship auditions. I also offer lessons online. If you'd like to view a portfolio of my students' recordings, please request for the link via the contact form below.
Teaching philosophy
In over 9 years of teaching in London, I have taught students with an age range from 5 to 40. I have also mentored undergraduate college students on practice methods, piano technique and essay-writing. All my young beginner students have mastered the correct technical and theoretical fundamentals, playing with strong, independently controlled fingers and the appropriate wrist and arm assistance. Where students wish, I also pay attention to developing aural and sight-reading skills, which are often neglected. I have taught several students over the years who work full time and juggle their love for music making with their careers. For those who prefer to learn more casually without taking exams, I also tailor teaching material for children or adults and consider the students' stylistic preferences when suggesting music they can play.
My students have a commitment to musical appreciation and self-improvement. I believe in a comprehensive and systematic approach to learning the piano. Where appropriate, I go beyond exam prep and encourage students with potential to participate in performance festivals. I believe in honest and two-way communication with my students and/or their parents, and encourage parents of younger students to observe lessons, so we may understand each other and our music better.

Ning Hui is an excellent teacher with great skills, approach and patience. I am very pleased.
- Abby, Diploma student Ning is a fantastic piano teacher! Very patient and knowledgeable about the piano and always manages to keep lessons light hearted and fun even when going through difficult content. Has been very flexible and happy to suit our lessons to what I want to learn. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn the fundamentals of the piano truly well and beyond. - Tom, G8 student Ning is great! Very friendly, communicated promptly, got on really well with 8yr old pupil and emailed a full feedback on standard and ideas for progression (we'd never received this from a previous teacher). Would recommend highly. - Debbie, Guardian to beginner student Ning is a professional and patient teacher. During our online piano lessons, my son made great progress. - Mingshu, parent to G2 piano+theory student [https://www.firsttutors.com/uk/music/teacher/ning-hui.piano.music-theory.violin/] Thank you for preparing me so well for Grade 5 piano and Grade 2 theory. I learnt so much from you and my technique has improved a lot in the last two years. I really enjoy playing the piano! - Sophie, student (age 10) [https://www.musicteachers.co.uk/teacher/4715dc3cdf3814e5cb92/testimonials] |
