Having experienced music both as a musician and a teacher, I have come to appreciate the profound beauty of this art form, which possesses two distinct characteristics that make it truly exceptional to teach and learn. These qualities are universality and individuality.
The universality of music is what makes it so inclusive and accessible to everyone. Whether one listens to music, plays an instrument, or engages with music through technology, it finds its way into the lives of all individuals. Music is a universal language that transcends cultural, geographical, and linguistic boundaries, bringing people together through shared emotions and experiences.
On the other hand, music's individuality lies in the unique way each person interacts with it and the role it plays in their life. It encompasses musical preferences, learning abilities, talents, and individual styles. Recognizing and embracing this individuality is key to nurturing each student's growth as a musician. By encouraging students to discover their musical identity and find their place within the world of music, we empower them to develop a lifelong passion for the art and cultivate a deeply valuable skillset.
Over the past 14 years, I have devoted myself to the study of piano under the guidance of a private teacher. This journey has led me to successfully complete several RCM practical examinations up to Level 10, along with corequisite music theory, history, harmony, and counterpoint examinations. Currently, I am enthusiastically working towards achieving my ARCT Diploma, a significant milestone in my musical career.
Alongside my dedication to the piano, I embarked on a 7-year journey of studying the cello. Two of those years were spent under the expert tutelage of the highly accomplished cellist, Ian Hampton.
Apart from my extensive music studies and education, my involvement in the community has been marked by active musical engagement. I've been privileged to showcase my talents as both a pianist and cellist at weddings and funerals, adding a heartfelt touch to these meaningful events. For over 6 years, I had the honor of serving as an accompanist in my church, as well as other churches, lending my musical expertise to enhance worship experiences. Additionally, I collaborated with choirs, organists, and small instrumental ensembles for diverse events, including fundraisers, concerts, and recitals. My passion for piano performance has been nurtured over 13 years, and I have had the pleasure of captivating audiences both as a soloist and in enchanting duets. Teaching piano has been an immensely gratifying part of my musical journey, spanning 6 years. My commitment to growth led me to work alongside an experienced teacher for 6 months early in my career, laying the foundation for my teaching approach. Since then, I have had the joy of guiding over 40 different students, shaping my unique teaching methods and philosophy.
