Early Foundation

I was fascinated with piano from the moment I first touched the keys. At age 6, I began formal studies at a music school where I was also introduced to the Sheng - an ancient bamboo woodwind instrument. Sharing music with adult audiences as a young child was both thrilling and formative. I performed this traditional instrument at numerous events, received several awards, and discovered early the profound power of cultural bridge-building through music.

This foundation in both traditional Chinese instruments and Western piano led me to win woodwind competitions while developing a deep appreciation for how Eastern and Western musical traditions complement each other.

International Teaching Excellence
My professional path led me to prestigious international schools across Asia, where I discovered my calling as a cultural connector through music education:

Seoul British School (1990-1994): Teaching students from over 20 countries, I adapted Western curriculum for multicultural classrooms while honoring each student's cultural background. Music became our universal language.

Taipei European School (1997-2000): Returning to my heritage homeland, I blended European classical traditions with Asian musical heritage, creating programs celebrating Taiwan's cultural diversity. This homecoming deepened my understanding of how cultural identity shapes musical expression.

United States Programs (2000-Present): Through special education, private instruction, and community building, I serve families from diverse backgrounds. This work reinforces my belief that music bridges any divide and creates meaningful connections across cultures.

I believe music transcends boundaries and serves as a universal language for building bridges between communities. My approach honors tradition while embracing innovation, ensuring every student sees their culture reflected and celebrated while discovering new perspectives.

Seeking opportunities to return to Asia's international education community, bringing decades of cross-cultural teaching expertise to help shape the next generation of global citizens.
