If you’re looking for a tutor to help you to learn a new skill/ rediscover playing the violin, or to help students to stay on track while we’re all at home, do get in touch!

If you feel good, you play better!

I like to approach each student individually, because we are all physically and mentally built differently. We all should leave a violin lesson feeling great!

My teachers Mr. Ngai Ho Chau and Mr. Jeffrey Sit Pak Hong, have been my greatest influence when it comes to teaching. I like to approach each student individually, because we are all physically and mentally built differently. Most importantly, we all should leave a violin lesson feeling great!

I have a 100% pass rate and my current sudents achieve a merit and distinction in the ABRSM performance grades1-8!

A little about me:

Born and raised in Hong Kong, my musical journey began at the age of five when I first picked up the violin. With the support of dedicated instructors, I built a strong foundation in technical precision and musical sensitivity, setting the stage for my future achievements.

At the age of eight, I had the privilege of studying under Mr. Ngai Ho-Chau, the former concertmaster of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. His mentorship not only refined my skills but also instilled in me a profound appreciation for musical expression and the value of diligent practice.

Driven by a desire to reach new heights, I earned my LTCL Diploma with Distinction from Trinity London College at eighteen, a milestone reflecting countless hours of dedication. This achievement motivated me to further deepen my understanding of the instrument.

Seeking new perspectives, I pursued advanced studies under the renowned violin maestro Mr. Hwang Wei-Ming at Taiwan SooChow University. There, I immersed myself in the art of violin technique, interpretation, and performance, gaining invaluable experience collaborating with talented musicians.

Over the years, I received scholarships to study violin at Taiwan SooChow University and California Baptist University. These opportunities enriched my musical experiences and allowed me to perform in solo, chamber, and orchestral settings. My journey includes performances with ensembles such as the Hong Kong Metropolitan Youth Orchestra, Hong Kong Pro-Arte Orchestra, Taiwan SooChow University Orchestra, and Taiwan Rong-Shing Chamber Orchestra, among others. These experiences continue to inform my approach to teaching, allowing me to provide my students with practical insights and real-world performance techniques.

Previously, I taught GCSE Music at Hollingworth Academy and provided violin instruction at The Hathershaw College and Radclyffe School, where I developed a holistic and student-centered teaching approach tailored to each learner's unique needs and goals.

Currently, I am dedicated to teaching SEND students at The Peak School, where I strive to create a supportive and calming environment. I often incorporate live violin performances to help my students relax and connect with music on a deeper level. Additionally, I work with private violin students, including young musicians from Manchester High School for Girls and Withington Girls’ School, as well as those preparing for music scholarship auditions at prestigious institutions like London Westminster School.

Recently, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Manchester-based artist Emma for her exhibition, Monton in Bloom. This opportunity allowed me to share my music in a creative and inspiring setting.

I have been successful in helping students who have suffered from technical problems, tendonitis, and excessive tension when playing.

With me, you will prevent these types of problems from happening to you. I will teach you accordingly to the repertoire you want to play, solving technical problems in the music.

It's going to be a pleasure helping you. See you soon in our class!

Are you interested in learning how to play the music of your current favourite artist or band, whilst also developing your own style and personality to the pop music you love?
I have a Bachelors degree in contemporary songwriting & performance, plus years of experience playing in my own jazz / pop bands as well as function projects where we cover a whole range of genre.

Together we can progress abilities such as
- Combining the elements of playing and singing at the same time
- Learning to read and use online materials such as chord sheets, jazz lead charts & learning from ear.
- Progressing the way you play cover music with techniques such as harmonic progression, chord inversions / re-harmonisation, feel changes
- Improvisation & Soloing
- Creating rhythmic patterns with right/left hand seperation
- Vocal and Piano technique ensuring healthy tendencies to your playing (using vocal chords correctly, posture whilst playing etc...)
- Performance technique (instrument tone, microphone technique, audience engagement)
- Home recording

We can build a lesson plan based on the music you love, and what aspect of your musical skillset your looking at developing!

The world of music theory and notation can seem daunting and complex for the uninitiated, but with a little bit of coaching, anyone can learn to speak the language of composition. In this class, I will teach students how to notate their musical ideas, as well as to stretch and develop them into fully fledged pieces.

Suitable for any level of ability, I can introduce the basics, help with GCSE and A-Level students, or assist anyone who is interested in composition as an independent project. With me, you will learn about a variety of composers and their music from J.S. Bach to Morton Feldman and their approaches to composition. This will do nothing but enrich your own work and inspire your creativity.

This class aims to help students develop the skills necessary to write original songs, from generating ideas to composing lyrics and melodies. Students will learn how to structure a song, create emotional resonance, and apply basic music theory to enhance their songwriting. By the end of the lesson, students will have written a complete song draft, incorporating both lyrical and musical elements.

Target Audience:
This class is suitable for beginner to intermediate songwriters, musicians, and anyone interested in learning the art of songwriting. No prior music theory knowledge is required, but a basic understanding of instruments (guitar, piano, etc.) or vocal skills will be helpful.

Cello lessons focus on developing fundamental playing techniques, musical understanding, and performance skills. Students learn proper posture, bow control, intonation, rhythm, and tone production through scales, exercises, and repertoire appropriate to their level.
Lessons are tailored to each student’s needs and may also include sight-reading, music theory, and exam preparation such as ABRSM grades. The goal is to build confidence, musical expression, and a strong foundation while making learning the cello enjoyable and engaging.
