Additional Info:

With the love and passion for music, I have always enjoyed playing the piano. I possess perfect pitch (the ability to recognise pitch by ear), and have been playing the piano since I was four.

Having passed my ABRSM Diploma for piano performance with flying colours in 2017, I am now looking for opportunities to give back to the community, through the teaching of piano and playing piano accompaniment for students, choirs, dances, ensembles and other groups or organisations who may require similar services. For music examinations, I am willing and able to play piano accompaniment for Grades 1-8.

I believe music is a universal language. As a music teacher and accompanist, I am hopeful to be able to extend my passion for music by igniting similar passion in students, helping to bring forth to them enlightenment as they acquire skills in their own instruments, such that they are able to not only make but also appreciate a variety of music.
