Teaching Statement
HuiMin Wang values different approaches for each age group in piano study. With school-aged students, she encourages the pursuit of excellence through the discipline of piano study while discovering how to express one’s innermost feelings through music-making. With adult students, she invites them to enjoy the “piano spa,” exploring the piano as a source of self-expression, artistic fulfillment, and renewal.
