Ben believes that music education should refine both skill and imagination. Working with pianists who already possess strong technical foundations, he focuses on deepening their listening, analytical thinking, and musical communication. He aims to cultivate musicians who are not only highly accomplished at the keyboard but also intellectually engaged and artistically distinctive, qualities that serve them both on and beyond the concert stage.

• Storytelling in music: True to his identity as a storyteller, he encourages students to explore the emotional, historical, and cultural narratives behind the music, making their interpretations more vivid and personal.
• Performance-focused: With extensive concert experience, Ben helps students build stage confidence, preparing them for recitals, competitions, and exams.

Ben believes that music education should develop both skill and imagination. He teaches students not only “how to play” but also how to listen, think, and communicate through music. He aims to nurture musicians who are technically proficient, intellectually engaged, and artistically expressive – qualities that serve them both on and beyond the stage.
