Yulia YAO

我是钢琴老师姚瑜（Yulia Yao）。我8岁开始学琴，2005年毕业于南京艺术学院音乐教育专业。主修钢琴，师从陈晓音副教授，莫嘉琅教授。选修古筝，师从青年演奏家金星和著名演奏家任洁老师。毕业后在星海钢琴学校教授钢琴一年。2006年考取正式编制就职于常州市教师进修学校。教授幼师大专班及高一至高三音乐专业学生的钢琴，视唱练耳和乐理。我带的三届音乐班共30余学生。入学时几乎零基础，在三年时间内所有学生均达到钢琴十级水平。学生们全部被南京艺术学院，南京师范大学音乐系录取，录取率100%。我在2006年，2009年，2011年分别获得江苏省音乐（钢琴）考级优秀指导教师称号。2010年获江苏省文联江南音乐少儿乐器比赛钢琴组优秀指导教师奖。本人还发表过钢琴教育论文3篇。

自2004年开始我利用周末时间教授儿童钢琴课。随我学琴的小琴童们最终也取得钢琴考级3-10级的成绩，通过率100%，并且良好和优秀比率占80%。优秀的学生在江苏省钢琴比赛中获得过二等奖，三等奖以及优秀奖。我2012年随丈夫来美后，继续我热衷的事业——教授钢琴，并建立了良好的口碑。

本人至今教授钢琴学生总数超过300余人。这些教琴经历，使我积累了丰富的教学经验，也使我形成了寓教于乐，因材施教的理念。另外在美期间，我钻研了西方音乐教育方法，并融入到自己的教育理念中，逐渐形成一套自己独特的中西合璧的教学方法。

我现在着重于钢琴启蒙教育，喜欢探究儿童教育方法和教材以及制作收集各种音乐教具。我会根据孩子的年龄，认知程度以及个人兴趣选用适合的教材，并且综合家长的建议和要求为孩子量身定制钢琴课程。

I am Yulia Yao, a piano teacher. I started learning piano at the age of 8 and graduated from Nanjing Arts Institute in 2005, majoring in Music Education with a focus on piano. I studied under Associate Professor Chen Xiaoyin and Professor Mo Jialang. I also studied the Chinese zither, under young performer Jin Xing and the renowned performer Ren Jie. 

After graduation, I taught piano at Xinghai Piano School for a year. In 2006, I secured a formal position at Changzhou Teacher Training School, teaching piano, sight singing, ear training, and music theory to preschool teacher college students and high school students. I taught three classes of music students, totaling over 30, with nearly no initial knowledge. Within three years, all students reached Grade 10 piano level. All were admitted to Nanjing Arts Institute and Nanjing Normal University's Music Department, with a 100% acceptance rate. I received the Jiangsu Province Music (Piano) Examination Outstanding Teacher Award in 2006, 2009, and 2011, and the Jiangsu Provincial Literature Federation Jiangnan Music Children's Instrument Competition Piano Group Outstanding Teacher Award in 2010. I also published three papers on piano education.

Since 2004, I've taught children's piano lessons on weekends. My students achieved Grades 3-10 in piano examinations, with a 100% pass rate and 80% achieving good and excellent grades. My students won second and third prizes and Excellence Awards in Jiangsu Province piano competitions. After moving to the USA with my husband in 2012, I continued teaching piano and established a good reputation.

To date, I've taught over 300 piano students. My experience has given me rich teaching expertise and shaped my philosophy of making learning fun and teaching according to each student's abilities. In the USA, I've studied Western music education methods, integrating them into my teaching philosophy, developing a unique East-West teaching approach.

I currently focus on piano education for beginners, exploring children's educational methods, materials, and creating and collecting various music teaching tools. I tailor piano lessons to each child's age, cognitive level, and personal interests, combining parents' suggestions and requirements.
