Tian Ip Music

Tian is a kind and professional teacher, who has more than 20 years of teaching experience, my daughter likes this piano class and enjoy it.

非常好的老师！年轻有活力，也非常严谨认真负责。课后会把学习内容和注意事项发给家长，帮助练习。课下的问题也会随时认真解答。孩子跟老师学了一段时间进步很大。

Ms. Tian is an amazing musician! I have the pleasure to work with her to manage a High School Rock Band program since 2018. I am the sponsor teacher and Ms. Tian is the Volunteer Music Director. Students in the Rock Band program love and respect her so much because of her experience, talent and friendliness! Ms. Tian spent many hours to help our Rock Band preparing for many successful performances. I have also attended numbers of Ms. Tian’s wonderful performances as a keyboardist with her professional band! I would recommend Ms. Tian to you if you are looking for a music teacher!

Tian helped me with my RCM 10 repertoire exam. Although we had limited time, she offered valuable insights to my performance, and her tips for overcoming stage fright was helpful too. An inspiring teacher!

Ms Tian是我女兒的第三位鋼琴老師，也是最好的一位。三位鋼琴老師都是專業出身，水平都很好。但是藝術水平高不代表相應的教學水準也高，這是我陪伴女兒學琴過程的體會，所以找到合適的鋼琴教師非常重要。跟第一位老師學習時女兒很小，剛學會數阿拉伯數字一到十不久，ABC字母也不太會。但老師卻安排每次上一小時的課，可以想像女兒學得多痛苦，也根本堅持不了一小時，並且感覺像在上數字、字母課多於鋼琴課。所以我們很快就放棄第一位老師了。不久在朋友介紹下開始跟第二位老師學琴，這次女兒有了進步。但時間一久我們也覺得這位老師也有做得不夠理想的地方。對於女兒學琴只是一味地讚揚，但是對於女兒做得不好的地方做，她不怎麼去糾正，例如基本的手型等。女兒對鋼琴越來越沒興趣，加上疫情開始嚴重，我們就暫停了鋼琴課了。機緣巧合，認識了Ms Tian，於是抱著試一試的想法讓女兒學琴。因為疫情嚴重，只能網上用ZOOM進行，用一台IPHONE和一台IPAD。Ms Tian也設置了兩個鏡頭可以從不同角度進行教學。結果女兒的進步很大。雖然是網上，但Ms Tian觀察入微，對於女兒彈琴的手型、力度以及各種技巧的錯誤，可以很快發現和進行糾正。而課外也要可以把練習曲目發音頻給她，及時指出可以改進的地方。相信疫情過後，可以面對面學琴，教學效果會更好。今年開始，女兒與另外兩位小朋友一起上Ms Tian的音樂理論課，一樣是網上ZOOM進行。如果小朋友上課走神、做其他事，Ms Tian也是很負責地可以及時發現並指出糾正。各方各面來說，擁有20年以上豐富音樂教育經驗的Ms Tian是一位耐心、用心、嚴厲但又靈活教學的音樂導師，非常值得向朋友們推薦。Warren Chan

At UBC's St. Anselm's Anglican Church, I worked under and with Tian for over 8 years, and I must say Tian is a wonderful musician and mentor.She is extremely skilled on the organ and piano. She is outstanding as choir director and arranger. And she has always been a great leader. When she was guiding me through the ins and outs of a music director at churches, she held nothing back and gave me whatever tips and encouragements I needed. This was true when I first started out volunteering under her, and continue to be true right now as she subs in for me as music director and organist from time to time. Another notable strength of Tian is her musical adaptability. From virtuosic classical pieces to jazz, from Bach trio sonata to rock, she does them all!.To sum it up: Tian is an amazing musician, and a great human being.

Tian is an amazing teacher. She has a wealth of knowledge and has a great deal of performing experience in different genres. Tian teaches effectively and makes learning music fun. After your first lesson, you will be eager to go bach for more.
