Currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Ethnomusicology, I hold a Master’s degree in Performing Arts (Music) with First-Class Honors and Distinction, specializing in Classical Piano. I am proud to possess the prestigious Licentiate of Trinity College London Piano Recital (LTCL) and have earned high distinctions from the ABRSM Board of Excellence in Grade 6 and 8 practical piano exams. My musical achievements extend internationally, with honors such as the Gold Award at the UCSI International Piano Festival and recognition as a semi-finalist in the Vienna International Piano Competition. Alongside my expertise in piano, I am proficient in various musical instruments, including guitar, drums, and violin, and have mastered musical tech production, arranging popular music covers.

Grounded in my deep passion for music and pedagogical philosophy, I am dedicated to providing students of all levels with a comprehensive curriculum and multidisciplinary approach to musical studies. I firmly believe that persistence in practice, a love for learning, and an appreciation for the intrinsic beauty of music are fundamental to success in one's musical journey. Encouraging active participation and performance in musical events, I strive to cultivate an environment where students can recognize and appreciate the transformative power of music.
