Teaching Philosophy
Music is a profound source of relief, a sanctuary from the stresses and monotony of daily life. For me, playing the piano is more than a hobby—it’s an immersive experience that brings pure joy. It’s the time when I disconnect from the world, allowing my emotions to flow freely. Whether I’m feeling sad, happy, trapped, stressed, or frustrated, the piano has always been my outlet—a powerful way to channel my energy, detach from overwhelming emotions, and regain a sense of control over my life. This transformative journey has greatly improved my well-being, and I deeply believe that anyone embarking on their own musical journey can experience similar benefits. Moreover, the seamless coordination between the melodies in my mind and the intricate movement of my fingers on the keys is a remarkable exercise for both the mind and body. It keeps my thoughts sharp, my muscles engaged, and my spirit alive.
Musical Education
I hold the Licentiate Diploma in Recital (Solo Piano) from Trinity College London, a prestigious recognition of my dedication to piano performance. My journey with the piano began at the age of four, progressing from group lessons to private instruction at seven. I achieved the ABRSM Grade 8 Practical with Merit and successfully completed the ABRSM Grade 8 Theory. Before earning my Licentiate Diploma, I was awarded the Associate Diploma (ATCL) from Trinity College London. As a testament to my commitment to music, I was a finalist in the Roland Piano Festival (Open Classical Piano Solo Category) and participated in the ASEAN International Chopin Piano Competition, showcasing my skills on prominent platforms. Currently, I am actively composing original music, blending technical expertise with creativity to craft unique pieces that reflect my artistic journey.

Special Skills and Trainings
have the ability to play the piano by ear—once I’ve heard a song, I can play it back effortlessly. Additionally, I possess perfect pitch, a discovery that remains a cherished memory. During an ABRSM exam, the examiner suspected I might have this rare skill. To test it, he asked me to stand in a corner, far from the piano, where I couldn’t see the keys. He played a few notes, and I identified each one correctly. I still remember him muttering, “Impressive!”—though at the time, I didn’t fully realize I had perfect pitch. I followed the ABRSM syllabus and achieved the Grade 8 Practical certificate at just 13 years old. My experience extends beyond solo performances; I’ve played piano for high school choir teams in competitions and led congregational singing at my college church. Currently, I’m actively engaged in composing original songs, channeling my passion for music into creating new and meaningful works.

Getting Started Together

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.

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!
