Hankle Hu

Wellington Theory Lessons
  • Suburb: Churton park
  • Styles: Classical piano and music theory

Beethoven said: “To play a wrong note is insignificant. To play without passion is inexcusable.” Having lessons is a vital part of understanding music, but more important my lessons are to provoke passion. I charge less than other teachers, not because I don’t teach well, but because I genuinely want to help students.
