Three words on every lesson I teach, whether the
instrument is a violin, a viola or a piano.
What I teach
Three instruments, one way of teaching
One-to-one violin teaching built around posture, tone and reading. Those are the three things that decide whether a student keeps playing. Lessons move at the pace of the person in front of me, not a syllabus timetable.
The violin's deeper voice: a larger instrument, tuned a fifth lower and read mostly in alto clef. Same set-up-first teaching, with extra time on the clef and the heavier bow arm. Violinists moving across and first-time players both welcome.
Hand shape, reading both clefs and steady time, built one hand at a time before the two are put together. Young beginners and adults starting from scratch both begin here.
In their words
What my students say
Thank you for your kind words and trust. It’s my joy to be part of your music journey.
nice instructor, he’s very fun and patient. He can teach from basic to advanced level. I’ve been learning with him for months and my posture has improved a lot.

I went for a trial violin lesson and had a great experience! The instructor was very friendly and made me feel at ease even though I was a beginner. Highly recommend!

Why music
What learning music gives a child
Learning music as a child can be valuable even if the child never becomes a professional musician. The biggest benefits come from the combination of listening, movement, memory, coordination, practice, and expression.
🧠
Attention and memory
Reading music, remembering patterns, and listening carefully exercise concentration and working memory.
🎻
Coordination
Instruments such as violin and piano require the eyes, ears, hands, and fingers to work together. Violin also develops fine control of posture, bowing, and intonation.
📚
Learning habits
Regular practice teaches children that improvement comes gradually through repetition, feedback, and correcting mistakes.
🎵
Listening skills
Children learn to notice rhythm, pitch, dynamics, timing, and small differences in sound.
💪
Persistence
A difficult passage may take many attempts. Music gives children a relatively safe way to experience frustration, work through it, and eventually succeed.
😊
Expression and confidence
Playing a piece well—or performing for another person—can give a child a strong sense of accomplishment and another way to express emotions.
👥
Social skills
Ensembles, orchestras, bands, and duets teach children to listen to others, keep time together, take turns, and contribute to a group.
🎨
Creativity
Improvising, composing, and interpreting music encourage children to make artistic choices rather than simply find one “correct” answer.
Who teaches you
Taught by one person, start to finish
There is no rotating bench of tutors here. You learn with 陆老师, the same teacher every
week, who remembers what you were working on last time and what you found hard.
That is the whole reason the three instruments sit under one name. The instrument changes;
how someone is taught to improve does not.
Five things I am always
watching for in a lesson, whether you are holding a bow or sitting at the keys.

相生 · the generating cycle
Focus · Strength · Precision
The two bars we repeat until the shift finally lands. Precision is not strictness. It is knowing exactly which small thing to fix next, and fixing only that one.
