Having graduated with a Bachelor of Music and a major in Piano Performance and Teaching from the University of Southern Queensland (Australia) in 2001, he has since accumulated over two decades worth of coaching experience. A laudable track record of ABRSM distinction recipients bears testament to his indisputable teaching successes. Several of his initial proteges have even progressed to become finalists in the Louisiana International Piano Competition and Festival and honorary participants in the Master classes at the Royal Conservatory of Music. Many of them have also since led and taken charge of various renowned choirs and local symphonic bands.
The sine qua non for effective piano playing is the immersive and inclusive contemplation of the spirit of the music, which invariably involves the comprehensive preparation of the heart, mind, and soul. Only then will the soul flow through the fingers, and the music takes flight, finding the melodic channel of sublime emotions, perfecting the divine essence whose influences may remedy and purge this pungent earthly effluvium. Why Use a Grand Piano? A grand piano embodies the pinnacle standard of the variants of piano instruments. Given its versatile and protean nature, it is able to reproduce the spectrum of colors, tones, and dynamics required for an advanced piano performance. To settle for an upright would only limit and compromise the student's ability to fully harness her potential to express and emote the shifting nuances of the repertoire.
