Teaching Philosophy
I believe everyone is a musician who needs a spark of awakening. As a veteran educator, I believe my role is to inspire people who love music to realize their potential. I am not here to deny or reject anyone's skills but to improve them. The most amazing thing about music is that there is no right or wrong, there is only style and personal preferences. And I am here to magnify these styles of yours. My base line is to always create an inclusive and responsive classroom, of course in a safe environment. I enjoy conversations coming back-and-forth. And it is so important for my students to tell me what they prefer, as it is their class, not mine.
Musical Education
I hold a LTCL Diploma in Singing from the Trinity College London in 2017 when I was 17. And I also attained Grade 8 Piano from ABRSM in 2014. I studied both piano and voice privately since the age of 6 until adulthood. I first trained voice classically but then diverted my skills in musical performances. I was in a formal choir since age 6 until 18 before embarking my journey as a Triple Threat.

Special Skills and Trainings
I come from a family with heavy music background. My mother was a conductor in a church and a member of her choir. I grew up listening to different style of music and it became an important piece of the puzzle. Ever since I graduated from university, I have been in the youth music education. I am particularly skilled in music lessons with kids and youth as it has been my main group of students. I include rhythmic activities, ear training games, action songs etc. to engage my students, as well as improving their focus and attention.

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!
