I have extensive teaching experience in New Zealand, Nagoya, Japan for 1 year and Vienna, Austria for 12 years, Since my relocation to New Zealand, I have established my Piano Teaching Business 'Von Trapp Music Academy'. In Vienna, I was the Representative for Austria for the ABRSM ( Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music), while teaching Piano full time at the Vienna International School to students from a wide range of abilities, and diverse backgrounds. I enjoy teaching students of all levels from beginners to Diploma, and I have extensive experience and expertise with preparing students for either Trinity College of Music or ABRSM Piano Examinations with students always achieving fantastic marks of High Merits and DIstinctions. I am a professional collaborative Classical Pianist,and I regularly perform chamber music with various instrumentalists. I am also an active Classical and Jazz Examiner for Trinity College of Music, London. As a teacher, I continue my own learning and research by my commitment to attending Music workshops, seminars, conferences, masterclasses and concerts. I thrive on passing on my passion and enthusiasm for Music to all my students, and I make it a priority to keep lessons fresh, interesting and exciting.

About Nicole
Originally from Hong Kong, China, I began my piano lessons at a young age. During my high school years, I accompanied the choir and was honoured to serve as the President of the School Choir. I obtained my ATCL Piano Diploma (Trinity College London) in 2018 and completed an ABRSM Grade 8 Music Theory certificate in 2022. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Music, from the University of Auckland. My teaching journey has taken me across Hong Kong and New Zealand, where I have worked with students at all levels, from beginner to advanced. I currently teach at Von Trapp Music Academy, where I have been teaching for the past year. I focus on delivering structured, encouraging lessons that build strong foundations, confidence, and a genuine enjoyment of music. I also guide students through exam preparation and performance opportunities, with an emphasis on technique, musicality, and enjoyment. I teach fluently in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, which enables me to tailor my instruction to each student and communicate effectively with their families. Music has always been at the heart of my life, and teaching allows me to share that passion while supporting students of all ages and backgrounds as they grow. I feel privileged to play a role in shaping my students’ musical journeys!
VON TRAPP TEACHING PHILOSOPHY:
乔安妮·克莱因
关于乔安妮：
你好。我叫乔安妮。我一直在教钢琴30多年来。我在新西兰、日本名古屋1年和奥地利维也纳12年拥有丰富的教学经验，自从搬到新西兰后，我建立了我的钢琴教学业务“冯·特拉普音乐学院”。在维也纳，我担任 ABRSM（皇家音乐学院联合委员会）的奥地利代表，同时在维也纳国际学校全职教授钢琴，为来自不同能力和不同背景的学生授课。 我是一位出色的古典钢琴家和伴奏家，我经常与业余和其他专业古典乐器演奏家以及独奏家和室内音乐家一起表演。 我是也是一名古典和爵士考官或伦敦三一音乐学院。
我个人的教学理念：
“每个孩子来到我们的世界时都具有音乐能力，无论是个人水平、专业水平还是两者兼而有之，我的目标是让我的学生对音乐产生终生的热爱”我鼓励我的学生永远不要放弃他们的目标，无论他们在音乐之旅中需要跨越什么道路或溪流，但要不断努力实现他们的音乐目标和潜力。作为一名音乐老师，我有责任培养和激发这种自然能力。我为我的学生提供一切我能提供的信息，以指导他们完成音乐之旅。然而，最终，老师的作用是让学生不再需要我们。
音乐是生活中不可或缺的一部分，孩子们就像他们需要音乐的美感和表达一样知道如何阅读和乘法。
作为一名教师，我的立场在哪里：
作为一名教师，我相信我的学费是独一无二的，我会继续定制我的课程，以满足每个学生的需求和学习风格。
- 我通过定期练习、参加音乐研讨会、大师班、研讨会和音乐会来继续自己的学习和研究。
- 我致力于将我对音乐的热情和热情传递给我的学生，并把保持课程新鲜、有趣和令人兴奋作为首要任务。
