About
Ever since I was a young girl, there were two passions that I aspired to pursue in life. Firstly, I wanted to dedicate myself to a musical career and master playing the violin and piano. Secondly, I wished to impart my love of music to others through teaching, just like my own educators who inspired me.

Having lived in Taiwan, Germany, and the United States, I have observed how teachers in different cultures approach music instruction. My diverse experience studying music across various continents, countries, and traditions gives me a unique vantage point to enhance music education for students.

As a teacher of violin, viola, or piano, I strive to kindle the love of music in people's hearts and help them experience the joy of playing.

Qualifications: Master of Music in Violin Performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance from the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln.

After taking piano lessons with Iris for five months, my six-year-old son has made significant progress in reading music notes and achieving proper hand shape. Iris, who possesses great patience and passion, is an outstanding piano teacher. I wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone seeking piano lessons.

My two children have been under the tutelage of Iris for the past year and I am satisfied with her teaching both violin and piano. She has a flair for modifying her teaching methods to fit each child's specific needs. For instance, my seven-year-old son was taught note transcription to enhance his concentration, whereas my five-year-old daughter with attention issues was trained with the use of a cardboard cutout with her name to keep her attentive during lessons. I am content with the progress my kids have made under Iris and would highly recommend her as an instructor.

As a college student, I enrolled in piano lessons under Iris' guidance for a few months. Despite having some knowledge in music theory, I lacked proficiency in piano playing. However, with Iris' expertise, she immediately pinpointed my starting point and effectively facilitated my swift progress by imparting helpful practice techniques and demonstrating challenging sections. What I appreciated most about Iris was her amiability and passion for teaching music, making her an ideal teacher for both children and adults. I highly recommend her teaching skills to anyone interested in learning piano.

Iris is an excellent teacher who is exceptionally patient with my five-year-old daughter. Despite having no prior experience, Iris utilized several effective teaching strategies to teach my daughter the fundamental concepts. My daughter thoroughly enjoys learning and playing the piano with Iris, and as a result, we highly recommend her.

I have been attending piano lessons with Iris in person for seven months now, and I must say it has been an exceptional experience. She has played a vital role in helping me improve my hand frame and finger shape, and we have covered a lot of fundamental techniques such as Hanon and Czerny. Her teachings have significantly focused on the basics, which is precisely the direction I wanted to take to become better. I would gladly recommend Iris to anyone interested in starting to learn piano and violin.
