Teaching Philosophy

Starting the violin in a young age has developed my lifelong passion for music. I remember what it was like to start and although it was a tough journey, it is such a rewarding experience. I believe music is a profound way to express your emotions to others, with every note carrying its unique meaning of a story. Playing an instrument demands the same focus and dedication as mastering any sport or skill, and I strive to ensure each student, regardless of age, can approach this journey with confidence and enthusiasm. I am committed to making the learning process both enjoyable and valuable.

Musical Education

I began my violin education at the age of four under the guidance of Takako Nishizaki. Following that, I studied at the Hong Kong Performance Academy for Performing Arts for four years, where I received comprehensive training in performance, music theory, and composition classes.
I have achieved my LTCL Diploma in both violin and piano, and am currently practicing for the FTCL Diploma. My current violin teacher, a previous member of the Hong Kong Symphony Orchestra, has trained me with precision, diligence, and high standards. I have attended multiple Masterclasses with violinists such as Elissa Lee and members of the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra. Additionally, I took part in the ensemble training held by Musicus Society, where I performed at the Hong Kong Cultural centre.

Awards and Distinctions

Special Skills and Training

I have a LTCL in both violin and piano, and am preparing for the FTCL. Although I currently study Biochemistry at university, it has never stopped my passion for music. I continue my journey to grow as a musician by trying to perform in different events. My experience in teaching children at school gives me a unique perspective on how to connect with them and provide a fun experience in the same time. I have also conducted a dissertation on how music history has changed overtime, which has enriched me both as a student and teacher.

Policies


1. Cancellation Policy

Lessons not cancelled or rescheduled with at least 24 hours notice are billable to the client and payable to the teacher. This does not of course apply to travel fees unless the notice is effectively given at the door and the teacher has travelled to the location.

2. Cessation (quitting) Policy

A client must provide a 2 lesson notice period to stop lessons. So a weekly student needs to give 2 weeks of notice, a biweekly student works out to 3 weeks notice and a twice weekly student works out to a week of notice.

3. Illness Policy

Lessons cancelled due to illness or extraordinary circumstances with less than 24 hours notice remain billable to the client and payable to the teacher.

BAH teachers are encouraged to offer a make-up lesson at a future date in the interest of client relations and general goodwill. This only makes sense as teaching a student with the flu for example, will ruin the rest of your week's employment.

No more than 2 lessons may be made up due to illness within a 60 day period.

4. Rescheduling Policy

Any lesson can be cancelled or rescheduled with at least 24 hours notice.

Summer Vacation and Extended Absence Policy

Clients may schedule longer absences for trips etc. 24 hours notice is required.

It is normal and typical for students and about 20% of our teachers to schedule a break in the summer. We do not enforce a notice period (see cessation of lessons) at the end of a long summer break.

5. Evaluation Period

There are no free trial lessons with Beethoven at Home but we do offer a 2 lesson evaluation period where it is easy to try out a teacher. There are no free lessons during the evaluation period and clients may choose to discontinue the lessons at any time by providing the required 24 hours notice. After the student's 3rd lesson the required 2 lesson notice period will apply (see cessation of lessons above).
