Teaching Philosophy
As a music teacher, my mission is to ignite a lifelong passion for music in my students. I believe everyone has the potential to excel, and my role is to nurture that potential with patient and personalized guidance. I create a supportive and inspiring environment where students feel empowered to explore and express themselves through music. Understanding that each student is unique, I adapt my methods to suit their individual learning styles, making lessons engaging and enjoyable. I strive to foster curiosity and creativity, encouraging students to take ownership of their musical journey and develop their artistic voice. My commitment is to instill confidence and self-belief, celebrating achievements and providing constructive feedback. My ultimate goal is not just to teach music skills but to cultivate resilience, discipline, and perseverance that will benefit my students beyond the music room.
Musical Education
My musical journey spans over a decade, starting with leading a recorder band in secondary school. This early experience sparked my passion for music and collaboration. At the Australian National University, I earned a Bachelor's degree in Music, focusing on film and game composition, which deepened my understanding of music theory and composition. I have been an active participant in various musical endeavors, including conducting a choir and serving as chairman of the music society. These roles enhanced my skills in teamwork, communication, and organization. My extensive experience as a pianist enriches my teaching, allowing me to provide valuable insights to my students.
Awards and Distinctions
I am honored to have received recognition for my dedication to music. I hold a Grade 6 Piano certification and a Grade 5 Voice certification from ABRSM, showcasing my proficiency and skill. These achievements reflect my commitment to musical growth and excellence. They remind me of the hard work and dedication that drive my musical journey. As I continue to pursue excellence in music education and performance, these awards inspire both me and my students to strive for musical excellence.
Special Skills and Trainings
With over three years of experience teaching piano, singing, and music theory to beginners and children, I have honed effective teaching strategies. My background in film and game composition adds creativity and innovation to my lessons. I love working with children and find joy in their progress. My enthusiasm creates a positive, nurturing environment where students feel inspired to reach their potential. I continuously seek professional development to stay current with music education trends. My goal is to foster a love of music and help students become confident, expressive musicians.

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!
