Her flexible guide and support approach allows her to earning the respect and affection from her students and their families. Her sense of humor and irresistible enthusiasm foster a positive learning environment, inspiring young minds to embrace their education with ambition.

Miss. Lucia says: "I have always been committed to maintaining a relaxed and joyful classroom atmosphere while delivering rigorous instruction. During a cyclical course, it’s possible that children might forget specific details of the knowledge taught—they may not remember everything perfectly. However, the overall feeling and experience of the class are something they’ll never forget. In my lessons, I aim to let children experience joy, fun, and a sense of achievement about 70% of the time while encouraging them to focus on certain details for the remaining 30%. This balance helps nurture their patience and concentration."


In her teaching, she emphasizes not only the development of technical skills and performance abilities but also a deeper understanding of music, its history and theory. She adopts a personalized approach, tailoring each lesson to meet individual needs, and employs an encouraging teaching method to motivate and inspire her students.

She holds an Intermediate Piano Examiner Qualification from the Art Education Center of the Educational Innovation Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Management Science. Additionally, she was honored with the Bronze Award in the 8th Hong Kong International Piano Competition, ‘Golden Bauhinia Cup’. These achievements reflect her commitment to excellence in music education and her dedication to continuous professional development.
