Shenwei's Teaching Style

"My teaching style is engaging and encouraging. I believe that a teacher, as a problem-solver, should focus on teaching students 'how' rather than simply telling students to 'do' or 'do not.' I help students achieve a balance between technique and musicality—both of which are equally important for successful piano playing."
