TESTIMONIALS
Feel free to have a read of what my colleagues, current and former students and parents' testimonials about my piano teaching and accompaniment.
Abia is a passionate and very disciplined pianist and piano teacher. I appreciate her preparation for every single lesson very much. Always tailor make plans for students who have different needs, both for techniques and musicianship. Her piano accompaniment always help singers to deliver their best to the songs. All my students and their parents love her so much.

I recognised Abia as a gifted piano teacher with a solid academic and performance training. She is enthusiastic and energetic in teaching children.
During the five years teaching my two daughters (2012-2017), she was extremely patient, encouraged them and coaxed them the very best effort from both of them. Along with the technical aspects of piano, Abia addresses performance techniques as well and these have been particularly helpful to my daughters. She organised annual piano recital which allowed students to learn stage performance and for parents to witness the musical development of their children... I certainly believe I have received excellent service for my money.
I trust that parents would be heartened to have Abia as a music teacher for their children. I am tremendously grateful to Abia for everything she has taught my daughters and the joy their music has brought to our family.

Our two sons have been taking lessons with Abia since 2012. They first started lessons with Abia - 8 and 5 respectively. She played engaging musical games with them, offered a sticker reward system, and probably most importantly for us, let the kids’ interest steer the direction. Rather than doing every single piece in a book whether or not they liked it, they got to choose music they were drawn to - contemporary songs, popular movie themes, classical pieces, etc. They progressed very nicely in this vein, playing songs that they enjoyed, so much so that they would play them on holiday if a piano were available. When they expressed interest in sitting for an official exam, Abia trained them accordingly.
Due to the pandemic, the kids’ lessons have taken an online format. Progress has not abated at all. They continue to practice and learn new songs as before, and interest remains high.All in all, Abia is a highly competent piano teacher, able to adapt skilfully according to the needs of her students.

Abia is a wonderful piano teacher - patient, kind and passionate about music. She made learning piano fun and interesting for my 8-year old son Kieran who started learning piano with her more than 3 years ago. He has enjoyed taking lessons with her from the very beginning, connecting with her warmth and her consistently positive approach. It was even more grateful for Kieran having an opportunity to perform on stage at one of Abia’s concerts.
With Abia’s loving and caring style of teaching, my 6-year old daughter Emma was inspired and started learning piano with her as well. Emma has never played a musical instrument before and the progress made over the past year far exceeded our expectations.
I highly recommend Abia as a music teacher for anyone who wishes to learn and discover with her the same joy for playing the piano that my children have!"

Abia did a fantastic job teaching piano to my two boys for several years, while we were in Macau. She uses just the right amount of positive encouragement and support, with challenge and accountability. She taught them songs they were interested in, so that they had fun while learning how to play. I highly recommend Abia as a piano teacher.

Abia Ng is Brian's piano teacher for almost five years - since Brian was 5 years old. She helped him to achieve the ABRSM Grade 5 Music Theory exam with Merit and ABRSM Grade 6 Piano exam.
Abia is a very patient teacher and nurtures Brian to love music. She is able to cheer up and inspire Brian to be a good musician. Abia knows well about Brian's interest and strength. She always chooses different types of music pieces which would interest Brian. Abia is an excellent communicator. She explains clearly with details in the lesson. She prepares structured comments after the lessons and Brian can practise independently after the lesson by following the comments. Abia also communicates well with the parents about Brian's progress and lesson arrangement.
Abia is also an excellent accompanist. She helped my elder son Casey for his Cello exams and performance, including IGCSE music exam. My son achieved A*. Big thanks to Abia!

Abia是一個細心體貼和好識教人的鋼琴老師。不會給予我太大壓力，但會因應我的程度，安排合適的練習，令我慢慢打好基礎，慢慢彈得更好。課堂都好有趣，不單止音樂上的問題，生活中的事Abia都會知無不言。自從跟Abia學鋼琴🎹之後，我覺得學琴都可以好好玩，令我對鋼琴更有興趣和信心，好開心可以認識到一位很好的鋼琴老師👩🏫。

我叫Helli, 作為學生及朋友, 我和Abia 相識快8年了。沒錯, 我是她的成人學生, 還是那種腦根不靈活、手指頭很硬、甚至是零基礎的那種中年大媽。我也不清楚, 當年她哪裡來的勇氣, 竟敢收我為她的學生; 我看這些年來, 她一邊教我彈琴, 一邊沒少吐一口血。Abia她不僅自己的琴技非常好, 還非常有耐性, 每次課堂都變著花樣去教我, 希望我能吸收得更好, 不嫌我慢、不嫌我跟不上進度、不嫌我記不住琴譜.....甚至我膽粗粗的說我想去考級的時候, 她還鼓勵我, 一次又一次的幫我反反覆覆練習。雖然說, 直到現在我在鋼琴領域的造詣不至於驚為天人, 但最少我能說我真心喜歡鋼琴, 而且還是因為她這個人，我才能一步一步的愛上鋼琴。

我女兒的教琴老師Abia是一位溫文優雅有氣質的老師，不經不覺女兒已跟她學琴6、7年了，她每次上堂都是開心活潑的與學生互動，會用不同的方法循循善誘的教導。她做事細心和有耐性、教學態度認真，每次上課都會認真記錄學生的進度，哪些做得好、哪些需要改善都一目了然。她是一個處處為學生著想的老師，除了關心學生的學琴情況，還會關心學生的學業成績、身心健康。還會不定期舉行音樂交流會，讓學生互相交流、欣賞，體會音樂的美。很幸運能遇上這樣的一位好的鋼琴老師。

Abia老師是一位很有教學熱誠和耐心的鋼琴導師。兒子Alvin和女兒Alexis分別跟隨了老師一年和半年的時間，他們每週都很期待學琴的日子，盼望著學新的音符，新的歌曲，老師的細心教導一步一步令他們培養了對音樂的興趣。老師每次都準備充足替小朋友上課，亦會因應小朋友的進度調整步伐，不會操之過急，令小朋友有紮實的基礎。本人極力推薦Miss Abia，成為你或子女的鋼琴老師！

我是Wendy的媽媽，Wendy以前曾經學習過幾年鋼琴，不僅進步不大而且興趣也不高，後來有幸跟Abia開始學習鋼琴。第一次課程結束後，女兒就快樂的感慨：Abia教得好好呀，這是我遇見的教得最棒的老師。看到女兒開心的樣子，我也由衷的高興。
女兒在學鋼琴的路上開始突飛猛進的進步，而且英文也提高地飛快。女兒的五級樂理考試一次就順利通過，而且還達到了八十多分的好成績，真是給了我一個震撼的驚喜呀！
感恩女兒遇到了一位超級優秀的老師，感恩Abia帶著我女兒在音樂的天空裡展翅翱翔。Abia，謝謝您！

Abia是一位真誠，熱情，浪漫的鋼琴藝術家。幾年前我退位的那一年，在一個演奏會上聽到她了優雅浪漫的鋼琴，演奏非常感動，就此認識了。以後每一次學琴都給我的生活帶來了無限的快樂。她教學的時候非常耐心，而且很有創意，有時候我聽到了好的歌曲，就請她幫我編出來，然後再學彈奏。她不但熟悉古典音樂，也有很多現代的創作。她能因人施教，非常有耐心，還可以和學生交流心得，學生學到鋼琴技巧彈奏和心靈上的快樂。

我的孩子從小就對上興趣班不感興趣,真的令我頭痛,這是我孩子的個性,直到一次透過朋友的推介下,Miss Abia就成為了孩子的鋼琴老師,初初我也擔心孩子可以跟這位老師學多久時間鋼琴呢！,怎料,孩子一學,至今,就學了兩年,我思考,為什麼這位Abia老師有何吸引力,可以讓孩子完全不抗拒學琴。
在過程中,我開始明白了,這位Abia老師就是有著耐性、用心跟孩子說話、引領孩子的興趣等元素。因此,感謝老師可以讓孩子能堅持跟隨她學琴,無放棄的念頭,我覺得老師這種教學態度就是令孩子跟她學琴的動力。

不經不覺，已認識鋼琴老師Abia三年多了。在這三年多的時間裡，看到Rabeea不斷的成長與進步，由最初的被迫及抗拒練琴，到現在的自覺練習，甚至已經開始享受彈奏的過程，我實在非常開心及感恩。感謝Abia老師一直循循善誘、悉心教導，使Rabeea不但學習到彈琴的技巧，而且還學會欣賞樂曲，每次都能喜樂地學習；同時，對彈琴亦越來越有信心，更與Abia老師建立了真摯的友誼。希望她繼續喜樂地跟著這個出色的好老師學習下去，將來能取得自己滿意的成績。正如她的之前也曾跟Abia老師學習彈琴的家姐一樣，能達成自己的目標，以Merit成績通過英國皇家學院的鋼琴八級試。

感恩女兒剛满二十歲了！她的健康成長，我要感謝所有提供協助的親朋好友！尤其是她的鋼琴導師，Abia Ng!
在過去這十二年，Abia精心安排給學生的教學和活動中，她在一次又一次踏上表演台中不斷進步，建立起足够的信心，讓我放心地在她十八歲的時候將她獨自送去留學，面對她自己新的世界。
