Hi I'm a student from the 2021 intake and I am very happy to learn how important sitting posture, finger posture affects my playing. For many years I have been using the wrong technique which affects my playing and I am seriously happy and thankfull to get it corrected with Jolynn.
It was a great pleasure to learn from this teacher. Many piano skills have been taught to me, such as keeping my fingers curved at all times. Before the rise of COVID-19, I experienced lots of outdoor and indoor performances activity with her. I'd love to get this opportunity to go around with her and see her perform on stage. Many compliment her for her piano ability and talent.
It is such joy to be writing as a student from the 2021 intake before the full public launch! Thank you to my instructor Jolynn for helping me with not only producing and writing, but guiding me the steps when distributing my music and tips in music business. 5 stars! thank you again!
