Nothing would make me happier than to see children love and enjoy music while enlightening them on music as well as cultivating their music skills. Each child is unique, therefore it requires various ways in coaching and guiding with love, knowledge, and experiences. Loving and enjoying music from childhood, I was formally trained as a professional musician and music educator with more than 20 years of experience in the field. I’m passionate about giving students a love for playing and sharing their musical gifts. I teach classical music, jazz, popular movie musicals, and I’m the owner of Elite Music Studio.
