Dear parents and students, welcome to my profile!

I am a professional opera singer who has performed in theatres and concerts in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Greece, Romania, and Hong Kong, has won international vocal competitions, been an adjudicator in vocal competitions, and given vocal masterclasses in secondary schools. Currently, I am an official singing and piano teacher at an arts school in London, where my classes are always fully booked.

I have always enjoyed teaching and can teach a wide range of repertoire in English, German, French and Italian. My lessons are mostly in English, but of course I can teach in Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese too. As a private singing teacher, all my students have won local and international competitions, and obtained excellent results in their exams. Some of them even decided to choose music and opera as their future careers. Although I am based in the UK at the moment, I still would love to help students who like to learn opera and classical singing in Hong Kong. Do not worry, I am experienced in giving online classes and you will not feel distant from me. You will enjoy my classes.

Yet, I see many more responsibilities being a teacher. Besides sharing knowledge and experience with my students, I am also the person who:
- enlightens my students through their journey of music;
- my students can rely on and talk to;
- influences them to embrace differences and be kind;
- makes them aware of their values and proud of themselves.
I want to be my students' friend and teach them with a humble and empathetic heart. My students like sharing their stories and ideas with me outside the lessons, sometimes about books, sometimes about philosophy, sometimes about the world, sometimes about the industry, sometimes about anything in life. I always make time for my students.

Besides singing, I have been a pianist and piano teacher for 13 years. I was usually the accompanist for my students in their competitions and exams. I am based in the UK at the moment, but I will arrange good accompanists for my students. If I can fly back to Hong Kong when my students take their exams and perform in their competitions, I will accompany them by myself.

My qualifications are as follows:
The Chinese University of Hong Kong
Bachelor of Arts (Music)

Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel
Master of Music (Classical Singing)
Postgraduate in Classical Singing

Licentiate Trinity College London Vocal Performance 97/100 Distinction
Licentiate Trinity College London Piano Performance 90/100 Distinction

Please feel free to contact me and let me know what you want to learn and achieve! Have a super lovely day!:)

"Zara is a remarkable coloratura soprano whose recent performance of Donna Anna was acclaimed by both critics and public alike."

"She is always prepared before the coaching and has been someone who could spend a night without sleep to prepare a comprehensive program and materials for the students. She is knowledgeable about singing and works carefully with the students. She is able to discover the strengths and weaknesses of the students and pays attention to each of them.
