Dear Students and Parents,

Welcome to my studio. I am so glad you're here.

Music has been the great constant of my life — a source of discipline, wonder, and deep joy. I hold the ABRSM Grade 8 certificates in both Piano Performance and Music Theory, the highest practical and written grades awarded by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. These qualifications represent years of devoted study, and they inform everything I bring to the teaching room.

My philosophy is simple: every student is unique, and lessons should reflect that. Whether your child is just beginning to explore the keyboard, or you are preparing for an ABRSM examination, or you are a student studying for the AP Music Theory exam — I design instruction around your goals, your pace, and your musical personality.

I offer individual piano lessons, small-group online theory classes for ABRSM Grades 1 through 5, and one-on-one advanced theory coaching for Grades 6 through 8. Every new student begins with a complimentary 45-minute introductory lesson — no charge, no obligation — so we can meet, discuss your objectives, and I can assess your musical foundation in a relaxed and welcoming setting.

I look forward to making music with you.

With warm regards,
Sherry Xu Signature
