"I love teaching children because they have the unique ability to explore freely without reservations."
I've been playing the piano for 20+ years. Discovering the piano is one of my fondest childhood memories. I started playing the piano before even going to school. My parents lovingly encouraged my desire to pursue it. I began formal lessons at the age of 6 and later obtained my Grade 8 ABRSM Certification (AMEB equivalent) with distinction for both practical and theory. Throughout my music education, I also actively played the clarinet in a band for many years, expanding my love for orchestra music.
Music to me is exciting, exhilarating, powerful and magical. I learnt discipline, perseverance & courage through my experience in music school. Values which prepared and equipped me for adulthood. Most importantly it taught me to be a dedicated learner. These skills set the foundations for my learnings in other areas. I later went on to obtain a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science and became a software programmer.
I realised the passion for teaching after having 2 kids of my own. I recognised that every child have in-born music abilities but may have different learning styles. My goal is to enable your child to enjoy music and provide him/ her with guidance to continuously improve piano playing.
My love for children, teaching and music keeps me passionate on providing the best education for your child.
