I know of one piano teacher here in Zhuhai, who is Russian. I haven't seen her for quite some time, but I believe she works (or worked) on a business visa, an F visa. She taught one to one for a private music school. There are a few mid sized music schools here that seem to operate on the same basis as the private language schools. Indeed, many of the weekend students at my last job in a private language school were coming from or going to piano, guitar or violin lessons at the music school next door. That being said, I don't know if she taught in Chinese, Russian or English. The school itself seemed to advertise and promote itself entirely in Chinese.

I'm not being rude so don't take this the wrong way but big egos tend to get punctured fast here. A bit of advice from an engineer friend who came here 5 years ago, "I came out here thinking I was going to show the Chinese how it was done. In my first year I learnt how not to look foolish, in my second I learnt how to do my job and in the third I had something to contribute."


I like this.

Warm regards,
