Testimonials from students and their parents

Throughout my university audition preparation, as I was in Shenzhen, we had lessons online but were not limited by this factor, Ning Hui always demonstrated techniques for me and provided diverse practice methods. She sent me detailed practice notes after each lesson. Additionally, she has great knowledge of music history beyond piano playing, and often assigned me tasks such as researching composers' historical contexts, understanding Italian terms, and analysing contrapuntal music. She gave detailed feedback on my homework and recommended authoritative reference books that were helpful to me. She also shared knowledge from her research, which helped me realise that there are many outstanding women composers in the world. During my audition preparation, Ning Hui was encouraging and patient in her guidance, enabling me to keep pace with her teaching. As a result, I successfully gained admission to the Royal College of Music (London) BMus (Hons) programme in 2022. I am deeply grateful for Ning Hui's dedicated guidance!

我的老师Ning Hui See 在我备考大学这段时间，积极与我沟通，我和她是异国上课，虽然只能通过电脑屏幕，但Ning Hui老师依然会尽她最大的可能为我进行示范，提供多种练习方法，课后会记录详细的练习笔记。同时她也是一位具有丰富专业知识与负责心的老师，不仅是弹琴，在谱面，她也为我布置过关于古典音乐家研究的作业，比如查找作曲家背景，了解意大利文释义，以及多声部的分析，在我完成后会用心的讲解，提供对我有帮助的权威性的参考书籍。Ning Hui老师在她的博士生涯研究关于女性作曲家的历史，她有时会在课上为我科普，这也让我了解到原来世界上也有这么多优秀女性作曲家。在我备考期间，Ning Hui老师不断的鼓励我，耐心的开导我，让我能稳定地跟上她的步伐，最后我也在2022年顺利的考入Royal College of Music (London), 我非常的感谢Ning Hui老师的用心指导！(李奇，当时18岁，跟随我学习，准备入学面试， 比赛，和ARSM文凭考试)

Ning has been teaching our two children (Aden & Ava) piano for over 4 years and we have been very pleased with her professionalism, patience, piano technique and overall attitude. During this time, Ning has played an instrumental role in preparing Aden for his music scholarship audition to the City of London School, where he was offered the scholarship. She was able to adapt the lessons to suit our goal in this regard. She has always provided great constructive feedback and engaging lesson structures which we have found very helpful. She also played a crucial role in developing confidence in our little girl Ava over the years. With Ning’s guidance, we are thrilled with her progress.

I’ve had the privilege of being taught by Dr Ning Hui See for over 3 years as an adult learner, returning to the piano after many years without a teacher. I am working towards a Trinity ATCL diploma. I feel privileged to have teacher who is active as a performer.  Plus, being taught by a recent PhD graduate from the Royal College of Music in London is giving me the best, most current methods of learning. My lessons started with Skype (pandemic), and I find that really a fine way to learn. I have also had in-person lessons, and these give another dimension and are also excellent.

Our lessons cover all aspects of piano performance, from technique, to musicality, to presentation. Ning Hui has been very patient with developing my technical skills with tips and practice methods which I had never learnt before as a young person. She has a strong focus on musicality of the playing, which I find helpful. With each lesson, she writes a clear list of practice points. With her encouragement, I found the confidence to join other adult amateurs to play through pieces together, and I have participated in various music festivals, receiving distinction marks and even a trophy. These experiences have been invaluable in understanding and improving my playing technically and musically. I highly recommend Dr Ning Hui.
