She loves working with different people, from amateurs to professionals, from children to adults. She encourages students to know more about the background and story of the music to add to their understanding and interest, and also ensures the correct technique is taught in order to gain the strength and ability to play. Winnie is also eager to continue to develop different ways of teaching to help students learn the music more efficiently.
