I feel that my instructor, Jason, tailors the lesson individually to a pace where I am comfortable. He teaches patiently, helps me troubleshoot techniques when I have difficulty, as well as encourages me. His lessons are engaging, and he is flexible in lesson scheduling. It's getting easier to hit the highest notes now, which I definitely wouldn't have been able to do if I just tried learning on my own. I liked the flexibility of lesson scheduling!! Also Jason chose my flute for me so I didn't have to stress about what to pick for beginner level.
My instructor, Andy is understanding, encouraging, and paces the lessons well. The Dizi lessons has helped me express my self better in another form, and I enjoy them. The lesson timings are also flexible, which makes it easier for me to plan things. Although I just started learning online due to COVID-19, where physical lessons are not possible for wind instruments, I am still learning the basics well. Thank you!
Kok Wee has been very paitient and helpful throughout lessons, taking time to explain techinques and playing forms. The lessons have been pleasant, especially so as Kok Wee has been very accomodating with my changing schedule.
It's been 3 months since I've picked up the Dizi under Andy, and I am a complete beginner. But Andy has been really patient with me during lesson. At times when techniques are difficult, he understands and encouraged me, which gives me the extra motivation to practice! Now, I am starting to be able to play some simple children tunes. Slowly but surely, I will get to play my favourite songs :) Eason Music School is also very flexible with re-scheduling of lessons when I inform them early of dates that I can't make it to lessons.
I recently started Dizi lessons with Kok Wee . He is very patient, helpful and very clear in instructing and guiding me though the lessons. He constantly shows me encouragement as well :) I can play a few songs now and am enjoying it. I couldn’t play a single note at the beginning, which was just a 2-3 months ago! Eason Music School has accessible instruments. The staff are helpful and friendly too.
