“Thank you for nurturing our kids and installing the interest and discipline of playing musical instruments. We appreciate your kindness and passion for teaching music”

我的儿子Alan跟昶老师学钢琴三年多，从啥也不会弹到现在差不多快可以考8级了，进步真的是非常非常大！昶老师是个特别会带动学生的好老师，感谢老师！非常棒！！

去年我儿子就参加了Hitmaker组织的International Solo and Ensemble Competition，拿了金奖后他可开心了，今年就一定要再参加比赛！练琴的过程其实还是蛮累蛮枯燥的，但能够适当的参加一些这样的比赛，就会让孩子更有动力练琴，如果能取得好成绩，孩子就会更有成就感，他自己会觉得平时的练琴还是很有意义的~

自从Alan上了音乐制作课，平时有时间时，他会在线拉上他的好朋友，说是在一起写个什么曲子，学有所用，玩的开心，说明这个课我们选对了

对于钢琴的学习相信很多人都跟我有相同的经历，就是走过很多弯路，浪费过很多时间。幸运是的我们遇到了昶老师。昶老师专业、认真，对小朋友又有耐心。在昶老师的指导下，我们家两个小朋友在弹奏方法、识谱、手指基本功训练都有明显进步。感谢昶老师，很幸运的遇到你。

以前从来没有想过让我们家孩子参加钢琴比赛，主要有两个原因：一是对我们家孩子的钢琴水平不自信，觉得必须钢琴水平特别高才能参加比赛；另外一个原因是不清楚钢琴比赛对小朋友的钢琴学习有什么作用，感觉又麻烦又浪费时间。

今年抱着试试看的想法参加了Hitmaker组织的International Solo and Ensemble Competition。自从知道自己要参加比赛了，小朋友们练琴更加认真，以前经常犯的问题居然改了过来。弹钢琴更加自信，经常在学校的音乐课上弹奏他们的参赛曲目。他们已经不在意比赛的名次，他们更享受的是比赛的过程，在比赛过程中，他们进步了，并且他们自己也感受到了自己的进步。现在练琴已经不是那么痛苦和煎熬，因为他们知道，每一个优秀的比赛选手，都是付出过汗水的。

参加比赛是给小朋友一个机会找到不足，给小朋友一个机会展现自我；给我小朋友一个理由，一个努力练琴的理由。因为自我能动总是比被动更有效。

我们家三个孩子跟Hitmaker的昶老师学习钢琴和乐理已经3个多月了，进步非常大！乐理知识已经从零基础学到了三级，而且每次单元测试都是95%以上的正确率。昶老师很善于举一反三，用孩子们喜欢和容易接受的方法让他们迅速掌握技巧。

孩子们的钢琴演奏也进步非常神速，可以弹很多象样的曲子了，这三个多月的进步比之前一年都多很多。感谢昶老师对孩子们的悉心教导和耐心教学！

我们还参加了Hitmaker的音乐制作课程，通过学习这个课程让孩子学习如何制作自己喜欢的音乐作品，也可以改编自己喜欢的流行歌曲。孩子很喜欢，制作了很多自己的音乐作品，很有成就感，也对音乐产生了浓厚的兴趣。

感谢Hitmaker,感谢昶老师，希望学校可以越办越好，将来可以开办更多孩子们喜欢的各种音乐类课程。

在 Hitmaker机构上课，昶老师以其独特的、专业的、幽默的教学方式使孩子在学习黑管的道路上进步飞快，享受到学习乐器的快乐！

感恩遇到如此好的老师！

感恩 Hitmaker!

My son met Ms.Chang when he was 8 years old at an instrument audition. The encouragement and interaction with her made him fall in love with Clarinet. Following Ms. Chang’s recommendation he waited until 9years old to start his practice.

There is a great progress in the past two years but most importantly, as a parent, we never had any arguments at home with his everyday practice. I will say the credit is Ms.Chang’s, she really knows how to encourage and supervise the kids, to make them have the motivation with the learning, and be proud of their achievements.

It is not easy to have a teacher who has a professional background and also knows how to teach children. Ms. Chang is one of the gems I’ll always recommend to friends.

Our daughter started her piano lessons with Ms. Chang in the December of 2019. Ms. Chang is patience, engaging and very innovative in her teaching and has enabled our child to growth exponentially in her techniques and make encouraging progress. She even started composing her own song just barely months into her learning due to her passionate with playing the notes.

Not to mentioned that the annual finale events organized by Hitmaker, the ISEC (International Solo & Ensemble Competition) provided the platform for every enthusiastic student to showcase what they have acquired throughout the journey at Hitmaker and shared the joy with others worldwide. Where our child enjoyed it very much and improved tremendously after joining the event.

Hitmaker is definitely the 1-stop music school for all ages, they are professional and passionate about music to have fun with the tunes.

亲爱的Hitmaker老师：

        我是您的学生可歆的妈妈，可歆自从跟您学习音乐制作以来非常的开心，每一周都迫不及待的期望周六早上的到来，对于她来说那是她最自由和欢心的时光，她可以天马行空的创作，她可以随心所欲将她喜欢的、不同类型的音乐巧妙的结合，她说您给她无限的创作空间，让她敢想敢做，您总说，为什么不试试呢？或许会有不一样的收获。在您的鼓励和激发创作灵感的指引下，可歆找到了自信，大胆的进行编曲，您总是帮助和纠正她，让她一点点的进步，对于一个正值青春期的孩子来说，得到肯定和鼓励是她们最开心的事情，除了帮助，她对老师是满满的崇拜，可歆总跟我说，老师的吉他弹奏太棒了，编曲太棒了，每一节课可歆都是收获满满，并且充满期待，作为妈妈，很高兴可歆能够如此享受音乐、享受制作，在学习短短一个月的时间里，我看到了可歆的变化，她下载大量的中外歌曲反复聆听，不同曲风、不同类型的，她真正的懂得欣赏不同音乐带来的不同感受和可以试着读懂每一首歌曲背后的故事和表达的情感，太棒了，谢谢老师的帮助，我相信随着学习音乐制作的知识积累，她将会懂得更多的音乐知识，她也会更享受创作的乐趣，再次感谢老师。

Mr Oliver taught me music production and guitar for about half a year. I was really enjoying the lesson with him. He is a very knowledgable, interesting and patient teacher. He always tries to teach me different things in different ways. Sometimes we are more like friends. This is because we always discuss our ideas together, or he perfects and realizes my ideas.

It was a pleasure to be one of the Hitmaker’s students, to have the opportunity to study music and prepare for my future. The teachers have been putting effort into training us with their professions and support our learning with the best they can.

Ms Chang, one of the co-founders who taught me to play the piano and the clarinet, is a fabulous performer and trained instructor that helped me build up on my basic techniques. She helped me to prepare for my ABRSM instruments tests. She guided me through the process of practising on instruments, laid a good foundation.

Mr Matthew, who taught us, ensemble class, is a well-trained musician who can play all the band instruments. He trained our abilities on each instrument, conducted our rehearsals as a rock band, and helped us to develop and improve our collaboration skills. His ensemble classes are usually interesting and enjoyable, we all get our performing techniques built up.

Mr Jeff Miyahara, who taught me about interview skills and music productions, is a professional music producer as well as a great instructor. In his interview class, we learned lots of effective communication skills, as well as self-branding and expressing. We all get the chance to practice answering questions and getting helpful feedback from him. He used his energy to encourage us to be more open and relax during the process of the interview. As a professional,  he also trained my music producing skills in the 1 on 1 production class, using his knowledge and experience of creating music to teach me how to use the DAWs, how to make music sound better. He helped me in preparing my music resume and portfolio, supported me with useful strategies in communicating as well as music-making.

写给小提琴刘老师

小提琴真的是很难学的一门乐器。扎实的基本功格外重要。刘老师用她超过三十年教学经验不但可以帮助学生找到问题，最主要的是知道怎么解决。学习乐器更重要的部分是回家练习。对于像我女儿一样的小琴童来讲，家长陪练也各外重要。刘老师每次不但兼顾指导学生，也会告诉我讲解怎样辅导孩子，如何在家里帮助孩子练习。不仅仅是孩子包括家长都受益匪浅。
