About Me

Hello! I am an enthusiastic and passionate musician, who also really enjoys sharing this with my students. To me, music is about so much more than technique and ability, it is about communication, conversation, and expression. Of course how you hold the instrument and use the bow is vitally important to this goal, and these elements require a lot of hard work and dedication, but this is always in service of making creative, beautiful music. When you are learning an instrument it is so easy to get caught up in the physical challenges, which is why I love reminding my students (and myself!) not to forget to play for enjoyment too :)

Over the past 20 years, I have had the privilege of teaching students from diverse nationalities and backgrounds. I have worked with students from various schools, including local Hong Kong schools, Hong Kong International School, Kowloon Junior International School, and the French International School etc. I am adaptable and capable of teaching students with different personalities, whether they are highly energetic or more reserved. My primary goal is to instill a passion for music in the next generation, helping students not only grow as musicians but also as confident performers. I have guided many students to success in ABRSM exams, from Grade 1 to Grade 8, including the latest online exam format. My students consistently achieve excellent results, and feedback from past clients has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing how music has boosted their confidence and performance skills. I tailor my lessons using a variety of books based on each student’s level and needs. Please feel free to contact me for more information or inquiries. *Lessons available in English ( fluent), Cantonese(fluent), , Mandarin (fluent)and Italian (Conversational)

Simone
Viola lessons - discover the rich, warm sound - from beginner to advaced students
The viola, with its rich, mellow tone and deeply expressive character, offers a musical experience unlike any other. Whether you are a teenager discovering the instrument for the first time, or an adult returning to music with renewed curiosity, my viola lessons offer a space to grow both musically and personally. In these lessons, you will not only explore the viola’s warm and expressive voice, but also cultivate self-awareness through mindful posture, body awareness techniques, and focused listening. Learning to play the viola well requires attention to the body as much as to the instrument, and together we will create a practice that encourages both physical ease and musical sensitivity. Lessons are tailored to individual needs and goals, including: • Preparation for exams or auditions • Building or refining technique • Expanding musical expression through repertoire and improvisation In addition to one-on-one instruction, we will also make music together — exploring duets to deepen your sense of musical connection and communication. Whether your aim is to perform, to progress, or simply to enjoy the intimate sound of the viola, these lessons offer a supportive and inspiring environment in which to develop your skills. For more information please get in touch.
