Iris’s lessons combine traditional Guzheng technique with musical expression, cultural understanding, and personalized guidance. With over 10 years of teaching experience in both China and the United States, she works with students of different ages, levels, and cultural backgrounds — from complete beginners to advanced learners interested in Chinese music and performance.
Her teaching approach is flexible and student-centered. A typical lesson may include posture and finger technique, repertoire practice, rhythm and musical interpretation, as well as introductions to the cultural and historical background of the music. For students interested in a deeper artistic experience, lessons can also include elements of Chinese aesthetics, traditional music appreciation, and performance expression.
What sets Iris apart is her international academic and performance background in ethnomusicology and Chinese traditional music. As a performer, researcher, and educator, she aims not only to teach the instrument itself, but also to help students experience the beauty and cultural depth of Chinese music in an engaging and accessible way.
Lessons are available in English or Chinese and can be adapted for children, adults, hobby learners, music students, or anyone interested in exploring Chinese culture through music.
