Of course as a private instructor I have to make sure to steer towards something instructional value in these situations. This can be tricky, so even if something doesn't immediately present instructional value, I can extrapolate correlations, patterns, etc. that give a basic pop song or TV theme more instructional value. In terms of Adam, I realized after about a year working with him that the best lesson plan was more of an outline than a traditional lesson plan. Read More

It is my hope throughout this whole process that students will learn how to develop their own playing style and musicianship that will allow them to tackle any musical gig or endeavor that may come their way. I will also during this time prepare students for the rigors of live performances they might have and guide them into choosing pieces of equipment that will cater to their sounds and tastes as well as their budget needs.

My teaching philosophy is centered around meeting each student where they are, and building from there no cookie-cutter lessons, no pressure to be perfect. I believe music should be both fun and empowering, whether youre training for a performance or just exploring a new skill for yourself. I create custom lesson plans for every student based on their skill level, learning style, goals, and musical taste. Some students thrive with structured exercises and theory, while others learn best through ear training, improvisation, or songwriting. Read More

I started teaching part time while still in high school back in my native Malaysia and that is where my experience began.

I am an instructor who emphasizes student success, happiness, fulfillment and result. I understand that some students have different wants, needs and priorities when it comes to music education and I am ready to cater to all student types! Read More

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor of Music in Viola Performance and a Master of Music in Viola Performance degree. I chose to pursue these degrees in performance because I have a deep passion for playing the viola and a strong desire to share my knowledge and expertise with aspiring musicians like your child.
During my undergraduate studies, I focused on honing my technical skills and developing a solid foundation in music theory and history. This allowed me to become a proficient violist and gave me the necessary tools to excel as a performer. I also had the opportunity to work closely with renowned professors and mentors who further inspired and guided me in my musical journey.
For my Master's degree, I wanted to continue refining my performance abilities and delve deeper into the art of viola playing. This degree provided me with more advanced training, access to a wider range of repertoire, and the chance to collaborate with talented musicians, all of which helped me reach a higher level of proficiency and artistry in my playing.
Ultimately, my choice to pursue degrees in Viola Performance was driven by my love for the instrument and my desire to pass on my knowledge and passion to the next generation of musicians. I believe that a strong foundation in performance is essential for anyone wishing to excel in the world of music, and I am dedicated to helping your child develop their skills and reach their full potential as a violinist or violist.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Well, it's wonderful that you're interested in my dream piece to perform on the violin or viola. There are so many incredible compositions out there, but if I had to choose just one, it would be the Sibelius Violin Concerto for the violin and the Walton Viola Concerto for the viola.
The Sibelius Violin Concerto is a true masterpiece that captures the essence of the Northern landscapes and evokes a deep emotional connection. Its soaring melodies and dramatic passages make it a thrilling piece to perform. What I love most about it is its ability to convey a wide range of emotions, from haunting melancholy to triumphant exuberance. As a musician, I would relish the opportunity to immerse myself in this concerto and convey its powerful storytelling through my playing.
On the viola, the Walton Viola Concerto is a true gem. This concerto is known for its lyrical beauty and the intimate connection it forges between the performer and the audience. It's a piece that requires not only technical mastery but also a deep understanding of its emotional nuances. The way it explores different moods and textures is truly captivating. Performing the Walton Viola Concerto would be a dream come true because of its unique ability to touch the hearts of those listening.
Both of these concertos are like musical journeys, and I believe that as a performer, they would allow me to express myself fully, bringing out the rich colors and emotions of the violin and viola. They are also a testament to the incredible depth and diversity of the repertoire available for these instruments, and I would be honored to share their beauty and complexity with audiences. Ultimately, it's the opportunity to connect with the audience through these powerful works that makes them my dream pieces to perform.
