Gary Eng Piano Studio

What a wonderful day it was to be invited again to perform at the Gateway Independent Living this year

Our featured piano students along with special guest Micah (on violin) and Paul Tavai Latta / Tiffany (Polynesian dancers) were warmly received by a cheerful and enthusiastic audience! Our students are continuing to prepare for their upcoming music examinations this summer and fall. Wishing them the best!

Here are a few photos to capture today’s performances :)

I was invited to perform a solo piano recital at The Gateway Assisted Living yesterday with guests performers, including my own family and senior piano student. What a wonderful time it was to share our love of classical music with a delightful audience! Thank you to all friends and family members who attended to show your support :) Wishing all the mom’s a splendid and Happy Mothers Day today ❤️ 💐 ☀️ 🎶 🎹

It has been a busy summer of piano exams and vacationing! This week, we welcome all new and returning students back to the piano studio :) We look forward to a new school year of fun, musical development and creative exploration! Both online and in-person lessons will resume. For further information, please visit my website (www.garyeng.com)

Huge congratulations to all my piano students for their display of talent, hard work, and dedication during last week’s annual summer student piano recital! I am extremely proud of all of you and hope you enjoy a wonderful summer! To my students who are busy preparing for upcoming summer exams and other upcoming performances, I know you’ll do well :) On behalf of Gary Eng’s Piano Studio, we wish everyone a Happy Canada Day long weekend! 🎹

I want to share with you all, my recent recording of a captivating piano medley of Christmas classic favourites! I hope you enjoy this performance and share it with others :) Gary Eng Piano Studio is now closed for winter break and looking forward to resuming in-person and virtual piano lessons in January 2023.

Hope you all enjoyed a beautiful, fun and restful summer! As we kick off into the new school year next week, I also welcome all students back to the piano studio - both new and old! I also want to share a few photos from our annual piano recital this past June and once again, express how proud I am of each and every student and your individual accomplishments. See you all soon!

Happy Chinese New Year! Well, it has been a busy few weeks at the start of 2022, as the studio welcomed back several fully vaccinated students. It has definitely been refreshing to maintain a balance of in-person and virtual students :) As always, strict protocols are in place to facilitate safety.
Here is a neat photo of our friend’s furry cutie pie, Lulu muffin, quietly enjoying my son’s piano playing!

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Best wishes for 2022 :)

Where exactly do I set up my computer monitor screen? I place it on a protected surface on top of the folded-open-lid of the grand piano. I find this position to be best both from a postural and ergonomic standpoint (head always looking forward, neck in neutral alignment with the body, optimal eyesight line whether seated or standing up from piano bench). Also, I am able to engage better with my students since they can always see my face and make direct eye contact. Please do share if you have any suggestions too! Happy to hear from you. Hope you all have a great weekend! Stay safe.

I have been asked where is the most optimal place to position a microphone during online teaching. Through my own trial and error, I found the microphone to be best positioned near the height of my face and within approximately an arm’s length reach away from where I am seated. Since I do not have a microphone stand, I have engineered my own simple solution for now (mic on an elevated stool). So far, sound-wise, this appears to be the best place for it in my piano studio. Avoid placing the microphone directly on the piano itself as my students have informed me that in the past, they could hear vibration noise from the instrument. Please do share your own experiences if you have any helpful tips! I hope you found this information to be useful. Have a wonderful weekend 🙂
