"Be a musician
before becoming a pianist."

From Tami,
mother of Coco

I am Tami, mother of Coco (girl in the photo above) from Guangzhou, China. Coco is a girl who loves music.

Before we met Fei, Coco was enjoying singing and piano was her second instrument. However, I noticed that she was starting to lose interest in her piano practice and even 20 minutes of practice was a struggle for her. Due to the pandemic, we started taking online lessons. Despite the challenge of remote virtual lessons, Fei created the lessons that were tailored to my child's interest, and with her vast experience and high capability as a teacher, she quickly gained the trust from Coco. The learning standard set by her was suitable to my child but at the same time quite challenging as well. She also made sure to come up with non-boring home practice exercises. There were of course always difficulties in learning but Fei would always send us some videos for practice tips. If I look back the past one year, I am proud to realize that my child has in fact been committed to her practice, and never did she really miss her practice unless due to some special circumstances. She had remarkable improvements in learning and has finally tasted the joy of success that came from her accumulated effort. As a parent, I respect this kind of professionalism from a teacher. Even more, I admire how Fei puts in her heart to pass on the right attitudes to her students. Despite the school work pressure, my child continues to love the piano.

We thank Fei for this wonderful journey and we hope to stay with Fei for a longer time for more guidance. We also wish to finally see her in person as we have been having lessons from two different countries on the globe without ever meeting in person before!
