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. Whether it's classical piano, lyrical pop, or cinematic music, I want students to "understand what the music is doing," rather than just relying on muscle memory. In my classes, I often guide students to understand music through stories, imagery, or emotions, making the pieces vivid and meaningful.Whether you're just starting to learn piano, or you've been playing for a while and feel stuck, I hope to accompany you step-by-step in building your own way of understanding music, making the piano a true tool for expressing your thoughts. ▌Musical Background Education National Taiwan Normal University, Department of Music The course is centered around the piano, starting with an understanding of melody and harmony to help students grasp the structure and emotional flow of music. Whether it's classical, pop, or composition, I hope students can not only play the notes but also understand what they are expressing, and gradually develop their own musical language. ▌Demonstration Videos ▌Performance Experience (Selected) Awarded third and fourth place in Taichung City Piano Competitions Experience in original music, piano arrangements, and thematic composition Participated in various master classes and collaborative piano concerts ▌Teaching Style Approaching music through melody and harmony to build an overall understanding Guiding students by incorporating the background, style, and emotions of the piece Encouraging students to describe music and express their ideas, rather than just playing by the score Flexible class pace, emphasizing thought and musical sensitivity ▌Suitable Students Complete beginners who want to "understand music" from the start Students who don't just want to play by the score, but want to understand what melody and harmony are doing Those interested in classical, pop, film scores, or composition Those who want to improve their musical comprehension, expression, and interpretation skills Those with prior piano experience who wish to break through plateaus and find direction ▌What You Will Learn in Class How to understand melody, harmony, and piece structure Interpretation approaches for different styles of piano music Transforming emotions, imagery, and stories into performance expression Building musical comprehension, not just accumulating techniques ▌Target Audience From beginner to advanced levels Elementary school, junior high, high school students, and adults Can assist with preparing for performances, competitions, exams, and recitals Book a Class | Start Learning Classical Piano Book a Class | Start Learning Pop Piano Book a Class | Start Learning Music Theory

EVENT Street Performance | Huang Yi × Parkland Early January · Xinyi District, Taipei · Parkland Music Taiwan Early January Parkland collaborated with street artist Huang Yi from Hualien to perform in Taipei's Xinyi District. The weather wasn't on our side, cold and rainy, but it didn't become a reason to leave. During the three-hour live performance, from Cantonese songs, European and American pop, to metal, the drum kit held the rhythm steadily. The entire street was slowly drawn into the music. We were fortunate not to have given up because of the weather that day, and fortunate that music always brings perfect encounters. During the performance, a passing bassist from Hong Kong joined in. Without rehearsal, they immediately jammed to a song called Hysteria. It only happened once that day, but it will be remembered for a long time. #ParklandTW#StreetPerformance#TaipeiXinyi#LiveMusic EVENT Drum Hang | Venue Sponsorship Parkland Music Taiwan Perhaps hosting this gathering is truly just for exchange, to meet like-minded people, to listen to each other, why they started drumming, how they got to where they are now, talk about equipment, play a few beats. Slowly, you'll remember what sounds he prefers. Parkland provides this space. Drum Hang is not just an event, but the beginning for drummers to get to know each other. Next time we jam or work together, seeing familiar faces, adds a sense of familiarity, and a few more drum bros whose names we can call.

In this collaboration, we provided a focused space for everyone to discuss, brainstorm, and present their ideas with various instruments. Some images were captured during the process, recording the rhythm of these three days and the time this space has held. We look forward to more creators nurturing their works here in the future, and immersing themselves in this space with confidence. #ParklandMusicTaiwan#MakeMusicAnEverydayThing
