Teaching Philosophy
I aim to make music an exciting and enjoyable experience for my students. I believe that music is not just a subject to be taught, but an essential artistic expression of a person. My teaching philosophy as a music educator revolves around igniting a love for music, fostering curiosity, and building a strong foundation in music skills. Through engaging and interactive lessons that is tailored for individual students, I aim to spark interest in music and find "what is fun for them" first. By providing comprehensive instruction, personalized guidance, and a supportive environment, I strive to empower my students to become not only skilled musicians but lovers of music.
Musical Education
I am pursuing a Bachelor of Music degree in Classical Voice Performance at the University of Toronto (UofT). I studied piano privately from the age of five and achieved the ABRSM Grade 8 in piano. I have been singing in choirs since the age of six, and started taking private lessons at 15 in Hong Kong, and achieved Distinction in the ABRSM Grade 8 in singing. I have competed and won in numerous singing competitions at the Ontario National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS), The Association of International Music and Arts (AIMA) Fukuoka, Hong Kong Music Festival, Hong Kong A Cappella Contest, and the Busan Choral Festival & Competition with the school choir and as a soloist. I have been a private vocal teacher since 2024 working with adult students with piano and voice, and I am currently a student ambassador under the UofT Faculty of Music and member of the UofT Hart House Student Music Committee. I am also working as a Church cantor, leading warmups for the elderly community choir and singing descants. I was a student volunteer for the UofT Summer Conducting Symposium in 2023 and have worked closely with the RCM Oscar Peterson School of Music as a summer camp volunteer with children aged 7-12 in 2022.

Special Skills and Trainings
During my childhood, I found myself utterly consumed by the world of music. Whether I was seated at the piano, passionately singing in choirs, or taking on solos, music was my constant companion. These formative experiences have driven me to become a dedicated performer and an aspiring teacher, eager to share the joy of music with others. It is my firm belief that music has the potential to touch hearts, enrich lives, and foster a deep sense of connection, and I am committed to nurturing this love and appreciation for music in all those I have the privilege of teaching. I love meeting new students and teaching at different levels, I hope to learn something new from you as well and make music together!

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!
