        More Info

        Learning to play piano can be such a positive thing in anyone's life! Every student is different both in personality and learning style and goals, and I hope to coax out the best out of every individual. I'm versatile with all - I have yet to meet someone I can't find a way to connect with and have fun with! I've had a lot of experience teaching a wide variety of students. I've taught students from age 4 to age 70+, from those that have professional aspirations to those that just want to have fun. I'm great at tailoring the way I nurture, motivate, and communicate with each student.

        General Info
        I've studied both classical and jazz at the New England Conservatory and at the University of Massachusetts. I can help you get a solid technical and musical foundation. I also teach music theory, sight reading, ear training, rhythm, memorization, performance, improvisation, composition, music history, and music appreciation. We can opt out of the more strict classical or jazz styles of training as well - if you just want to develop your rock keyboarding skills, maybe learn some of your favorite rock and pop songs, I can help you with that and give you lots of tips and tricks along the way. Most importantly, I can instill in any student a sense of musicianship that can outlast their piano lessons. What's most important to me is that you feed your mind and spirit and develop a deep love for all things music along the way.

        Location
        My studio has free parking, and is located very close to I-93, Route 1, I-95, Route 128, and is also a short walk or bike ride from several MBTA stops. I can also drive to you, anywhere north of Boston.
        Amenities
        I have a beautiful, warm 1930's Steinway grand in my studio for you to play on. If you're not the one playing, there's comfy places to sit, hot beverages to drink, and magazines to read while you're waiting. There's lots of shopping opportunities nearby too. If you would rather, I can drive to your home!

        Overall

        Jingjing has been a valuable piano teacher to both my 6 year old daughter and me. My daughter was somewhat reluctant at first to learn piano, since the discipline required to learn music was new to her. Jingjing was very patient with her, while at the same time providing her with both the structure and encouragement she needed to advance. Her warmth and innate ability to connect with kids have made piano lessons a joy for my daughter, and after about 8 months she is looking forward to playing in a recital!

        As for myself, I'd played several instruments in the past and was interested in learning piano and some guitar in order to have some fun and even start a band. Jingjing was able to tailor my piano lessons to fit my interest in several styles of music, and in a short amount of time taught me theory, techniques, habits I can use to play my favorite music. She even gave me some lessons on my new guitar! She makes learning and playing music a joy for both kids and adults and I would recommend her to people at any level of musical ability.
