Testimonial for the course:
"Ms Lin Shumei is a excellent teacher and mentor for anyone looking to pursue a great achievement and enjoyment in piano studies. She is a patient and professional teacher who will push and encourage you to do your best with every piece, not only paying attention to technical details but to the emotion and story that the piece should express. Being a part-time teacher under her previously, I have heard her perform on the piano. This is her forte and she is a talented and sensitive performer. She plays music with excellent technique and taste. I have taken lessons with her for a year for ABRSM dip (teaching) and have obtained a vast amount of knowledge and skills. One of it is the importance of interpretation. Technique without emotions are merely technique. Throughout the time I have known her, she has a great sense of humour and interacts well with her students. I am glad I had the privilege to meet Shumei; to have workedunder her before and be her student. I appreciate her for giving me the opportunity to further my piano studies. I would recommend her for anyone looking for a solid and enjoyable music education and for anyone willing to work hard for amazing results."
