Q & A
(1) How can I be selected?
A: We award intermediate-level-above applicants weekly. Keep trying will give you more chance to win.
(2) If my application is not accepted, may I reapply?
A: Of course, you are encouraged to re-try. Do not forget to highlight your new progress in your application.
(3) If I had been selected and awarded already, may I reapply?
A: Yes. Kindly reminder, the first time applicants and the applicants who are preparing for piano exams, auditions or competitions will have priority.
(4) If I had been selected and awarded the private lesson, what should I prepare?
A: We will contact you for details. Generally, you need broadband internet and a laptop with camera (the bigger the screen, the better). Put the laptop on the right side of the piano and adjust the height to allow the teacher to see your posture and keyboard. If your laptop's build-in speaker is not loud enough, you may need a louder external speaker. Please setup and test your computer before the lesson, and avoid using the lesson time to adjust the computer.

常见问题
(1) 如何才能让我被选中？
答：我们每周都会给拥有中高级钢琴水平的申请人奖励免费课程，坚持申请都有机会。
(2) 如果申请不成功，我可以再次申请么？
答：当然可以，别忘记在申请中认真地介绍一下自己的进步，让老师对你留有良好的印象。
(3) 如果申请成功了，我可以再次申请么？
答：也可以，但是老师的时间会优先安排给初次申请者，准备参加钢琴考级、入学考试或者钢琴比赛的学生。
(4) 如果被选中，上课前都需要做哪些准备？
答：我们会主动和你联系具体的准备细节。除了宽带网络以外，你还需要一台可以视频和语音的笔记本电脑（屏幕尽可能大一些）。上课时，放在钢琴右侧，调整到能让老师看清你的坐姿和键盘的高度。如果你的笔记本电脑声音较小，你可以提前准备一个外置的音箱备用。另外，我们相信能被 Dr. Hui Xu 选中的学生都会是认真且细心的人，他们都会在上课之前就把电脑调试好，这样就不会因为电脑的问题而占用上课的时间了。
