Experienced and Passionate Brass / music theory tutor

For the performance experience, in 2013, I participated in a tour of the Hong Kong Youth Symphonic Band to Jeju International Wind Ensemble Festival as a principal euphonium player. As a dedicated young performer, I have taken part in many competitions and festivals. This includes the SliderAsia Music Festival 2017, Eurocuivres Asia 2018, and the 2019 Taiwan Tuba and Euphonium Festival, Jeju Brass competition 2020. In additions, I was the solo euphonium in the Lindley Band, and I join the Hepworth Band as a 2nd euphonium currently. I have already done a lot of concerts since I came to the UK and recently, I was chosen to give a solo performance for the reunite festival at the RNCM in 2021. Therefore, I can share my performance experience and my career development with the pupils that arouse their interest of learning music and help them to overcome their difficulties when they perform like stage fight, music memorization. For the teaching experience, I have taught for 7 years in different schools and music centres in Hong Kong like quin music centre and quarry bay school by delivering individual or group class. I have also taught as a private brass tutor for any level like Euphonium, French horns, Trombone, Tuba and so on. Apart from instrumental teaching, I also taught music theory from grade 1 to grade 8 for many years as a private teacher. I have taken a pedagogy course at RNCM and started the placement for 4 months in ONE Education that I can understand the difficulties of every student and provide an appropriate practice guide for them to build up their playing skills. Also, I can stimulate their creativity and improve their musicality through different skills and activities like Dalcroze exercises, scaffolding skill, and so on. My teaching philosophy is to let the pupils explore themselves and encourage pupils to try more that they can develop their own characteristics and style instead of just copying and following the instruction. For the online teaching experience, I started teaching online on Zoom and Facetime with my student since the COVID pandemic. Moreover, I have a set of professional equipment like microphones, and an audio interface for the online teaching that the student can listen to my real sound and learn detailedly from me.
