My teaching experience started at the School of Rock and I loved it ever since. I continued to improve on my teaching ability as an English Teacher in China.

I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy singing and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

His first composition went on to win a county-wide award for best original song. Read More

The only reason I'm still pursuing music today is because i love it and i want to encourage others to do the same.
