About Carina
I’m a young Chinese pianist based in the UK. My performances have been featured by Global Musician’s League, Artron, Malvern Gazette, Worcester News, Visit the Malvern, Elgar Festival 2025, and St Wulstan’s Catholic Church. In April 2022, I performed Francis Poulenc’s Piano Concerto with the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Symphony Orchestra, earning high praise from Graham Scott, Head of Keyboard at the Royal Northern College of Music, as well as from the public. In 2023, I was invited to the 1st Nanjing Youth Music Festival, where I gave concerts, masterclasses, and lectures. The festival, supported by the Culture and Tourism Bureau of Jianye District, Nanjing, was widely reported by Xinhua Net, Sohu, China Jiangsu Net, CRI Online, Litchi News, and China.com. In 2024, I was granted the UK Global Talent Visa in recognition of my artistic achievements. That year, I was successfully launched two recital series in the UK: “Soundbites Concerts” and “European Sonatas”, both of which received critical acclaim. I’m currently pursuing the Artist Diploma (the highest performance qualification) at the Royal College of Music, London. I’m previously earned her Master of Music and Honours Bachelor of Music degrees at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, where I was awarded a high scholarship, and before that studied at the Middle School Affiliated to Xinghai Conservatory of Music. In 2024, I was admitted to the Advanced Postgraduate Diploma (Level 8) programme at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and gave a widely attended online recital that attracted nearly 5,000 viewers, reported by Artron Art Network. The same year, I was invited as both a guest performer and jury member for the CSSA Warwick “Charm of Spring” Music Competition at the University of Warwick. In 2025, I was invited to perform at the Pierre Boulez Centenary Celebration at the CBSO Centre and the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. ⸻Awards & Prizes •2024 – Winner, Sylvia Cleaver Prize, Royal Birmingham Conservatoire •2023 – Winner, Donhoe Gold Medal Prize, Royal Birmingham Conservatoire •2022 – 2nd Prize, Charleston International Music Competition (USA) •2022 – Silver Prize, London Young Musician Award •2022 – 2nd Prize, Franz Liszt Center Competition •

As a piano teacher, I believe I possess both strong personal qualities and professional capabilities. In my 9 years previous teaching experience, I have guided over 100 piano students. One of my students won an award at the "CITTA' DI MASSA" International Music Competition, and all of my students have achieved a 100% pass rate in ABRSM exams. I helped a student from China successfully gain admission to the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. As a pianist who has studied in both China and the UK, I integrate the strengths of both countries’ piano education systems and apply them to meet the individual needs of each student. Throughout my past work experiences, I have gained many valuable skills. I would describe myself as a passionate, professional, and patient teacher. I always adapt my teaching methods and style according to each student’s individual needs. I maintain regular communication with parents, providing updates on learning progress and developing tailored study plans. I believe my students’ achievements, along with my nine years of teaching experience, are strong evidence of my effectiveness as an educator. I am also highly empathetic and patient. During my time as an international student mentor, my role was to help new international students adapt to both their academic and daily life environments. This required me to think carefully from their perspective, understand their needs, and offer timely support in all aspects—academic and personal. In addition, I am a strong team player. As a ballet accompanist, I collaborated closely with ballet teachers to provide the exact music and tempo they required. I also worked with fellow accompanists to find and prepare scores for various repertoires. As a piano teacher, I believe education is about lighting a fire, not filling a bucket. My goal is to inspire students’ passion for music, not just teach techniques. I focus on understanding each student’s needs, encouraging creativity, and building their confidence through patient and personalised guidance. I aim to create a positive learning environment where students feel motivated, supported, and free to express themselves. By helping them discover the joy of music, I hope to guide them toward lifelong appreciation and personal growth beyond the piano. I am confident that my background, mindset, and motivation have fully prepared me to take on this role and to continue contributing with enthusiasm, responsibility.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by students with Carina.
Perfect! Carina is an amazing piano teacher who creates a comfortable and encouraging learning environment. She is very easygoing, kind, incredibly patient, and very talented. What I appreciate most is how she breaks things down in a simple and clear way, which really helps when I’m struggling to understand something.
She is always easy to contact and very supportive, which makes learning feel stress free and enjoyable. Every class is engaging, and I always leave feeling confident about what I’ve learned and never confused or overwhelmed. Carina truly makes learning piano fun, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive and skilled teacher.- You are a lovely girl with passion for the music! I really enjoy to have lesson with you I hope you have the same feeling!Carina's response :
Perfect! Carina is simply brilliant!! Within the first lesson she had an excellent understanding of my children's understanding of the piano. They are 5 year and 8 years old. She has kept the 5 year old engaged , focused and made him love his piano lessons. With my 8 year old she motivates and inspires her to try more with her music. She comes to the lesson with a clear plan and the children come away learning so much. They still talk about their lesson then next day and are always excited about their piano lessons. I would definitely recommend Carina!! She is fantastic!
- They are both absolutely lovely! I really enjoyed the time working with them!:-)Carina's response :
I think they don’t have any major issues with note recognition at the moment. However, I feel that some basic techniques can be strengthened, especially their finger work and hand shape. I noticed that they both tend to collapse their fingers while playing. They also need to follow the fingering indicated in the book, as this will help them build proper technique.

I highly recommend Carina as a piano teacher. My son has made clear and steady progress since starting lessons with her. Her lessons are well structured and very effective, and she always gives clear guidance on what to practise after each class. This has helped my child practise more independently and with better focus at home. Most importantly, my son has become much more motivated and now genuinely enjoys playing the piano. We are very grateful for Carina’s thoughtful and well-planned teaching.

Carina truly makes learning piano fun, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive and skilled teacher.As a mother of two children, I have seen significant progress in both of them since they started learning with Carina. She provides us with different and detailed feedback every week, which helps us clearly understand our children’s progress and areas for improvement. We are very happy with the lessons, and most importantly, our children are always excited to learn with her. Carina has a wonderful ability to motivate children — one of my children used to dislike practising the piano, but now genuinely enjoys it. We are truly grateful for her teaching and would highly recommend her.
Carina is an excellent teacher and a highly accomplished musician. It has been a great privilege to work with her over an extended period of time. Her weekly feedback after each lesson is always insightful and inspiring. I have never met a teacher who is as thoughtful, caring, and attentive to her students as she is. I would highly recommend her.
As a parent it's quite reassuring to know that you have a tutor that is heavily invested in the progress of her students. Carina takes the time to really know each individual and establishes a development plan that is workable. I have really valued the direct feedback offered after each lesson
When I first started, I was only at Grade 5. After about a year of learning with Carina — both piano and music theory — I’ve made huge progress, and last week I successfully passed my Grade 8 exam. Carina is patient, clear in her teaching, and always knows how to guide me step by step. I’m really grateful for her support and highly recommend her as a piano teacher!
A highly-talented pianist, skilled, reliable and an absolute pleasure to work with. I can't recommend highly enough for all your piano needs.
Thank you so much for all your help and hope to play with you again soon!
MariaAs a mum of two, I’ve seen many teachers — and Carina really stands out. She’s kind, patient, and knows exactly how to keep kids motivated without any pressure. My children always enjoy their lessons with her and actually look forward to practicing. She makes learning piano feel fun and natural. Couldn’t recommend her more!
I’m so happy to learn piano with Carina. She’s truly amazing, and for the first time I can really see my own progress. I’ve never found piano this fun before!
I’m the mother of a student who has been learning with Carina for three years. In this time, my child has stayed very motivated and practices on his own, largely because Carina always gives clear weekly practice plans and helpful feedback.
With her guidance, he passed his ABRSM exam with Distinction last year. We’re now working on Grade 4 and getting ready for next year’s competition. Carina is patient, organised, and genuinely cares about her students — we’re very happy to have her as our piano teacher.I’m Finn, a current student learning ABRSM Grade 8. I used to find the level extremely difficult, but everything became much easier after I started taking lessons with Carina. I really like her teaching methods and style — her guidance is always clear, constructive, and very effective. Thanks to her support, I was able to win first place in a recent competition. I’m truly grateful for her dedication and highly recommend her as a piano teacher.
My daughter has been having Piano lessons with Carina through her school since the beginning of the school term.
Carina took over from another teacher.
She has benefited very greatly from Carina's style of teaching and we have both seen a noticeable improvement. Both my daughter and I are looking forward to future progression.
We’re so lucky to have Jiayi! My child loves every lesson, learns with joy, and keeps getting better each week!
My daughter has been learning piano with Jiayi, and I honestly couldn’t be happier. Before, she wasn’t really interested in piano, but Jiayi completely changed that. She makes every lesson fun and inspiring, and my daughter now loves to practise on her own!
What’s even more amazing is that after just ten lessons, my daughter successfully passed her piano exam. I was so proud — and so grateful for Jiayi’s teaching. She’s patient, encouraging, and truly knows how to bring out the best in her students.
I’d highly recommend Jiayi to any parent who wants their child to enjoy music and make real progress at the same time.Jiayi is an inspiring and knowledgeable piano teacher. She explains everything clearly and helps me understand the music deeply. Her lessons are motivating and enjoyable, and she has greatly improved both my technique and musical expression.
Jiayi is a wonderful piano teacher! She teaches with great patience and care, making every lesson enjoyable and inspiring for my 7-year-old. My child has made amazing progress and now truly loves playing the piano, all thanks to her excellent guidance.
Jiayi is an amazing piano teacher! She’s patient, encouraging, and always explains everything clearly. Her lessons are fun and inspiring, and she really helps me improve and enjoy playing the piano more every day.
