Mr. Fung has been teaching in the Bayview and Finch area for over 15 years. He is also an RCM Examiner in both piano and theoretical subjects. He is particularly interested in developing young and gifted pianists. Students usually range from RCM grade 8 level to university performance program level. Mr. Fung, however, will accept a small amount of beginner grade students through audition.

Students are constantly guided with patience and thorough understanding of music. To challenge his students further, Mr. Fung places them in various music exams, festivals and competitions according to the individual student’s ability and needs. The remarkable results are shown every year with students winning major scholarships, trophies, and becoming top prize winners in regional as well as national competitions like Canadian Music Competitions and Kiwanis Music Festivals. Students have also won piano concerto competitions and gained opportunities to perform with symphony orchestras year after year.

Mr. Fung also organizes theory and history classes for all levels, preliminary to grade 5 (September to May or summer courses). In order to assure thorough understanding, classes are kept in small sizes, up to 4 students each group. As a result, the average is usually 10-20% higher than the national average consistently standing at around the 90% range.

Mr. Fung’s passion for teaching was largely influenced by his piano teacher and renowned pedagogue Marc Durand. Mr. Fung has also participated in Master classes with Alfred Brendel in New York City, Leon Fleischer, André Laplante, John Perry in Toronto. Mr. Fung obtained his bachelor degree in piano performance at York University with Christina Petrowska.
