Cheyenne

As Hong Xiang's student, I feel my finger work has come a long way and I have achieved my goal of completing Grade 8. We often have discussions about the history and theory of music that broaden my appreciation for the art form and motivate me to discover new music outside of lessons. Hong Xiang is a dedicated teacher whose passion for music has been a key factor in deepening my own love for it.

Farhain

Learning piano came at a late age for me and I am fortunate to have Hong Xiang guide me through the journey. He places great emphasis on building a solid foundation, offers advice on how to practice efficiently and ups the challenge for me over time. Pieces I once thought impossible to play are within my capability now, such as the first movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. His encouraging style of teaching makes me look forward to achieving more in music.

Testimonials

Claire

Hong Xiang is experienced at delivering piano lessons for adults like myself.

He is patient and takes time to go over details in my playing in terms of technique and expression. Also, I really enjoyed learning about the lives of composers and hearing about the stories behind compositions, as this really helped with my appreciation of the music.

I saw marked improvements in two years and am now able to play pieces for my own enjoyment. Very thankful to have found a great teacher who inspired and nurtured a love for music in me!

Rae

Very kind and encouraging teacher, also funny sometimes. He plans the lessons well and I've improved a lot under him.

Andrew

The lessons are really fun and I like learning interesting new songs like those about animals. I feel comfortable with Teacher Hong Xiang and we talk about all sorts of things. He teaches me to do the pieces bit by bit every lesson and sometimes helps to move my hands to the right place. He is a very good teacher.

Ronnie

I came across Hong Xiang looking for leisure piano lessons with zero piano background. He is patient and understanding of my practice schedule as a working adult. I also have the liberty of choosing music that I'd like to learn, be it pop, film scores or classical. Lessons are flexible and holistic.

Having taken classes for almost 3 years, I've achieved my goal of being able to play new pieces on my own to unwind.
