ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:

SOME HIGHLIGHTS ABOUT THE LESSONS:

1) IT IS THE KEY, TO COVER A WIDE RANGE OF MUSIC STYLES.
We're capable and willing to deliver the playing skills and knowledge from ANY MUSIC STYLE and from ANY SONG, you name it, as the student wishes. We really do care about what the student’s needs. This approach of learning music is VERY RARE in general.

2) DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS.
We do not apply the same teaching method to every student; Every music course is tailor-made for the individual student, according to his/her character and needs.


3) UNIQUE AND PRACTICAL METHODS OF TEACHING MUSIC.
Every time we teach a new song, you will learn not just the techniques, but also the theory and concepts underlying the techniques. Understanding these concepts is the key to applying techniques and ideas you have learned to a different environment. We focus on encouraging our students to explore a wider music world through inspiring and practical methods.


4) IMPROVISING TRAINING.
Learn how to jam freely with music/ your music mates, the cool and proper way!

Dear parents and students, welcome to my profile!

I am a professional opera singer who has performed in theatres and concerts in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Greece, Romania, and Hong Kong, has won international vocal competitions, been an adjudicator in vocal competitions, and given vocal masterclasses in secondary schools. Currently, I am an official singing and piano teacher at an arts school in London, where my classes are always fully booked.

I have always enjoyed teaching and can teach a wide range of repertoire in English, German, French and Italian. My lessons are mostly in English, but of course I can teach in Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese too. As a private singing teacher, all my students have won local and international competitions, and obtained excellent results in their exams. Some of them even decided to choose music and opera as their future careers. Although I am based in the UK at the moment, I still would love to help students who like to learn opera and classical singing in Hong Kong. Do not worry, I am experienced in giving online classes and you will not feel distant from me. You will enjoy my classes.

Yet, I see many more responsibilities being a teacher. Besides sharing knowledge and experience with my students, I am also the person who:
- enlightens my students through their journey of music;
- my students can rely on and talk to;
- influences them to embrace differences and be kind;
- makes them aware of their values and proud of themselves.
I want to be my students' friend and teach them with a humble and empathetic heart. My students like sharing their stories and ideas with me outside the lessons, sometimes about books, sometimes about philosophy, sometimes about the world, sometimes about the industry, sometimes about anything in life. I always make time for my students.

Besides singing, I have been a pianist and piano teacher for 13 years. I was usually the accompanist for my students in their competitions and exams. I am based in the UK at the moment, but I will arrange good accompanists for my students. If I can fly back to Hong Kong when my students take their exams and perform in their competitions, I will accompany them by myself.

My qualifications are as follows:
The Chinese University of Hong Kong
Bachelor of Arts (Music)

Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel
Master of Music (Classical Singing)
Postgraduate in Classical Singing

Licentiate Trinity College London Vocal Performance 97/100 Distinction
Licentiate Trinity College London Piano Performance 90/100 Distinction
DipABRSM Piano
ABRSM Grade 8 Music Theory

Please feel free to contact me and let me know what you want to learn and achieve! Have a super lovely day!:)
