A Private Piano Studio for Serious Musical Growth

EncoreX Piano Studio is a private piano studio dedicated to students and families who value depth, clarity, and long-term musical development.
Here, piano study is not treated as a short-term activity or a checklist of achievements, but as a disciplined and meaningful process of learning how to listen, think, and grow through music.

What Makes This Studio Different

Key focuses include:

Developing musical taste and aesthetic judgment, not imitation
Training clear thinking and problem-solving skills through music
Building strong foundations early, without unnecessary detours

1. An Academic Foundation, Taught with Clarity and Flexibility

With over 25 years of teaching experience, including university-level instruction in China and decades of private teaching across ages and levels, Cheryl’s teaching is grounded in a rigorous academic framework.
At the same time, concepts are explained with precision and adaptability: adjusted thoughtfully to each student’s age, background, and way of thinking.

2. Cultivating Musical Taste, Not Just Technique

Rather than relying on repetitive instruction alone, lessons emphasize comparison, listening, and aesthetic judgment.
Students learn why music works the way it does, developing refined musical taste and independent artistic thinking, skills that extend far beyond the piano.

3. Learning How to Solve Problems, Not Just Pass Pieces

Problem-finding, problem-solving, and problem-prevention are central to the teaching process.
This approach helps students build structured thinking habits, confidence, and efficiency—allowing them to progress with fewer detours and greater long-term stability.

Who This Studio Is For

This studio is well-suited for students and families who value thoughtful instruction, clear structure, and meaningful progress.
It is especially appropriate for those who seek more than surface-level learning and are willing to engage seriously with the learning process.

You don’t need to already “understand music” to begin here.
What matters is curiosity, commitment, and a willingness to grow.
Building musical understanding clearly and systematically is part of the work itself.
