Learning drums isn't just about playing rhythms; it's about knowing what you're practicing and why, making every practice meaningful.

I'm Chen-Wei Pan, a saxophonist and educator whose work is centered on jazz with pop as an extension. I excel at freely switching between melody and rhythm on the saxophone and have participated in various live performances and collaborations with different ensembles.To me, the saxophone is not just about accumulating techniques and scales, but an instrument that can "speak." I love to explore how melodies breathe, how rhythms propel music forward, and I'm skilled at transforming seemingly complex jazz concepts into an understanding that students can immediately apply to their playing. Whether you're picking up the saxophone for the first time or have been playing for a while and feel stuck, I hope to help you play with a steadier and more directed sound, gradually finding your own tone and voice. ▌Musical Background Education Master of Music, National Dong Hwa University - Jazz Program Majored in saxophone, specializing in jazz and pop music performance.

Course Focus | Establish a solid foundation in piano and musical understanding, progressing from technique to musicality, and developing the ability to express emotions and imagery through performance. ▌Self-introduction I'm Zhewei, a performer and educator focused on piano, with an emphasis on musical understanding and storytelling.For me, playing the piano isn't just about hitting the right notes; it's about understanding what the music is saying, where the emotions come from, and where they are going. I pay close attention to the relationships between melody, harmony, and overall structure, and I enjoy understanding a piece within its historical context and style.
