My Teaching Approach
A PROFESSIONAL TESTIMONIAL
Ms. Cheah and I have been working together since 1990. We have helped each other and also her students from their ABRSM graded examination to international piano competitions. Her students include prize winners of various international competitions and high scorers in the international Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano examinations.
I have found Ms. Cheah to be someone who is very responsible in her work. She takes the initiatives to find out much of piano pedagogy for herself and her students, often purchasing tutorial materials and going to Masterclasses on her own expenses just to better herself and her teaching skills. She is very careful in her teaching and has proven herself many times to be a very responsible teacher with proven track records of her students’ achievements. Her experience includes teaching students with high talents to further their talents, helping them to realize their goals in winning competitions and getting study places to study piano and music in various international universities.
I enjoy working with Ms. Cheah and I recommend her highly to anyone who is looking for an excellent and responsible teacher to guide them / their children to the excellent art of good piano playing. Please feel free to contact me at +4916096741731 if you have further questions to this recommendation.
Thank you.

A BIG THANK YOU
“I’m sure this isn’t the most eloquent letter I’ve ever written, but I am doing this to give Teacher Vivian the tremendous recognition she deserves for how she’s able to empower and engage her students.
My son, Jiaxin, now eleven, has been with Ms Vivian since six. He will be sitting for the exam of ABRSM Grade 7 in September. Frankly speaking, Jiaxin isn’t all that musically-inclined. He is very fortunate to have Teacher Vivian as his piano mentor. It is not easy for a young child to understand the music work he plays in a deeper manner, as well as to present it elegantly.
Teacher Vivian is always able to find a way to inspire Jiaxin to open his young mind and use his imagination. Sometimes she uses very interesting ways to help Jiaxin to acquire the concepts. Her lessons impart onto Jiaxin a love for classical music which he will benefit from in his life. As for the technical part, Teacher Vivian is very straight forward and detailed in her explanation. Obviously, I can’t speak of the experience of all students who have ever been under Ms Vivian. But I imagine their experience was very much like Jiaxin. Young kids are not easy to engage and spark, but Teacher Vivian, through her experience and professionalism, manages to do it year after year.”
