About

I started my piano learning at age of 4, and clarinet in high school band.
I was major in clarinet and minor in piano in National Don Hwa University in Taiwan. Through four years studies, I became very active in piano accompaniment because of the needs between student’s exams and performances.
After I finished my bachelor degree in Taiwan, I came to Australia to study my master degree at Sydney Conservatorium in 2014.
Learning with Frank Celata, the associate principal clarinet of Sydney Symphony Orchestra was my privilege, I improved and developed deeper musicianship in my clarinet playing and teaching.
I moved to Canberra for the visa purposes in 2018, and I had built up my teaching career there in the past 5 years.
I was teaching in a few schools’ music instrumental programs, as well as my private lessons and accompaniments.
In the busiest period, I had around 50 students per week, and I have helped many students to achieve their AMEB exams with great markings.
My main focuses are nurturing students’ music interests, helping them to develop their musicality, and further enhancing their technical skills in achieving their goals or grade exams.
I hold the annual student concerts to make sure that music learning is not only in the practice rooms, but on the stage to share the beautiful music and the results of their hard work.
I have just moved from the cold Canberra to warm Brisbane, hopping to build up my teaching again.
