She has been learning the piano since young and she value what Music can give. It enriches life, brings joy and provides an avenue for opportunities in the future.
She has performed since a young age but stopped due to work commitments. She loves singing and although she has attained a certificate, ATCL, in singing and do plan to continue this pursuit,
She is more confident in teaching piano. However, if the student would like to incorporate singing and playing the piano, I am able to assist in that as well.

She focuses on imparting the right techniques, ear training and sight reading skills and also to inculcate good practicing habits in students so that they will develop a strong foundation to help them overcome any obstacles that they may face in learning music.
On the other hand, she believes that it is important to develop student’s interest in music and uses appropriate teaching materials and teaching methods to make lessons as interesting as possible to young students, while older students are taught to appreciate a wide range of repertoire from classical to modern jazz and pop, not just the usual 3 exam pieces. She believes that there is no one-size-fits-all method in teaching and tailors her teaching to suit each student’s personality, learning ability, learning style and goals.
