Ivy inspires her students with enthusiasm and creativity which allows her students to achieve success in their music studying. In her teaching, she points a way for students to solve the technique difficulties in piano performance, to understand the meaning and express their feeling of music. Many of her students won some famous piano competitions and got the admissions to some well-known conservatories to pursue their music dream.

“My aim as a music teacher is to guide and nurture the music and personal development of my students and make learning about music rewarding and fun. Learning a musical instrument promotes dedication, stamina , ability to solve the problems and a sense of achievement. For example, when there is a very difficult passage in a music piece, except for everyday practicing, students could try different ways to sort out why it is difficult and how to deal with it. Maybe it is the wrong of fingering ,articulation in music sentence or even the height of how we put our arm on the piano keyboard that handicap the smooth of musical flowing. Once we spot the difficulty, we could easily find a way to practice it effectively. Through continual practicing, we could express our opinions clearly and share our feeling and imagination in front of the audiences, which would be the most rewarding moment."

Lessons are custom-designed for every individual students. I teach all the methodologies theory lessons suitable for students in different stages.
