Welcome! Please give more details about the prospective student when enquiring about having lessons, which can include any or all of these areas: piano lessons, theory/aural lessons, ABRSM or TCL exams and writing programme notes. I also offer these lessons online for those who would like to explore remote learning.
Teaching philosophy
In over 8 years of teaching in London, I have taught students with an age range from 5 to 40. My only expectation for students is their commitment to musical learning. I have developed particular experience in helping children and teenagers fix technical issues, thus improving their playing significantly. All my young beginner students have mastered the correct technical and theoretical fundamentals, playing with independent, strong and 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 believe in honest and two-way communication with my students and/or their parents, and encourage parents of younger students to observe lessons in order to understand music better. All my students have achieved distinctions or merits in their ABRSM grades 1-8 exams for piano and theory. I have also mentored DipABRSM students or undergraduate college students on practice methods, technique and essay-writing.
For those who prefer to learn more casually, I also tailor teaching material for children or adults.

Ning is a fantastic piano teacher! Very patient and knowledge 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 do / learn. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn the fundamentals of the piano truly well and beyond.
- Tom, Grade 8 student Ning is great! Very friendly, communicated promptly prior to first lesson, got on really well with 8yr old pupil and then emailed a full feedback on standard and ideas for progression (we'd never received this from a previous teacher). Offered to purchase appropriate materials for next lesson on our behalf. Would recommend highly. - Debbie, Guardian to student [https://www.firsttutors.com/uk/music/teacher/ning-hui.piano.music-theory.violin/] |
