My name is Fan. In Chinese, 帆 is pronounced /fān/ and means "All is well" and "Sailing."My husband, Dr. Samuel Bai's Chinese name is 舸, pronounced （gě）, and means "Big Boat."  It seems a coincidence or fate to be ONE! I'm glad to share information about our family's Music and art education courses and ministry. My husband, Dr. Samuel Bai, and I are teaching musicians and teaching artists, and we have been dedicated to Music, art, education, and ministry for many years. I'm grateful and proud of our work for God and the vision God has placed in my heart. Our family works with God, and we are filled with courage, grace, mercy, and guidance, always maintaining steadfast faith in His calling! 

We offer unique courses designed and taught by us as a husband and wife team. Our online and onsite courses cater to children (aged five and up) and adults. They are bilingual in Mandarin Chinese and English. My husband teaches all the musical instruments, while I teach all the art education courses; please check the list in the attached picture. Our specialty combines nature, science, literature, songwriting, and Music composing in our courses for different age groups. This approach provides a comprehensive learning experience in multidisciplinary, cross-cultural education and fosters creativity.

For the music part, my husband is very multidisciplinary in all subjects, so he is more focused on how Music conveys culture. With his excellent communication, extensive knowledge, sense of humor, and easygoing character, he is so much liked by his students! For the art part, my teaching philosophy is to Sow good seeds in the souls; The teacher is responsible for preparing the soil and planting the seed. Only a prepared mind is suitable. The influence and outcome are not a shortsighted view but for the long run to see in the future generations by generations. And I fully trust this point, so I only attract students or families with the same vision or mindset. 

Aside from offering courses, our family is also involved in Music and art ministry. We share our worship music and art with churches and kid ministries locally in Alameda, SF Bay Area, and other churches in Asia. 

During the pandemic, I hosted several free art lectures, inviting guest speakers from the USA, Finland, and China to talk about art therapy, expressive arts therapy, Music and dance education, nature art education, and Montessori education. My husband assisted me with translating the interpretation. One unique and featured online course to be mentioned is "Bilingual Storytime Music and Art." In 2020, my husband and I designed it for our son and his age group. During the pandemic, we offered a whole year of free monthly online "Bilingual Storytime Music and Art." Now, with the continuous development of the courses, more families and young children are benefiting from such blessings.

This year, we also started to offer gospel gifts, additional self-created educational resources, and more.

Whether you have young children or teenagers or are adults who appreciate our educational philosophy and teaching methods, we invite you to contact us for more information. You can also contact my husband or me directly to schedule a call to discuss. 

Also, my husband, Dr. Bai, has offered private science and AP biology tutoring for years. Please email us first if you need help with science-related academics or want to develop your musical and artistic talents by finding a proper instructor and mentor or requesting a custom music art workshop, retreat, or collaboration.

Thank you, and blessings to you all.
