Teaching Philosophy
I place a strong emphasis on individualized training that is catered to the particular requirements and goals of each student. My substantial training in music demonstrates my commitment to my profession. I am passionate about assisting the little musicians in pursuing their future musical dreams. My relief is “there is no bad student, only unqualified teachers. I believe interest and curiosity go first. That is why I am patient, optimized, and always willing to improve my students’s musical comprehensiveness and abilities.
Musical Education
I am studying clarinet peformance major at University of Toronto. Also, I have attended another accounting bachelor from Queensland University of Technology. I started piano from the age of seven and clarient at the age of ten. My teachers were classically trained. Now I am studying clarient performance with renowed clarientists Joaquin Valdepenas and Peter Stoll.
Awards and Distinctions
I have been the principal clarientist for Wind Symphony of Uoft between 2022-2024. In this year, I have successfully participated the Hatch 2024 Music festival as the clarinetist and bass clarinetist with Continuum Contemporary Music Ensemble.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
