Acerca de mí

My name is Brian and I am a cellist and composer who has recently moved to Hong Kong from Singapore.

I have extensive experience teaching music at the highest level in the United States and Singapore. I also have a track record of collaborating with colleagues to improve student learning and engagement and creating tools and strategies that help my students to gain a depth of knowledge, skills, and confidence.

As a composer and arranger, I am very comfortable teaching orchestration. I advocate teaching with a hands-on approach where students can hear, see, and touch the actual instruments they are writing for.

Throughout my career, I have been a champion for modern music. I believe that it is essential for teachers to teach and promote new music at all times to students. Without constant new input, creativity becomes stagnant. New, exciting, and adventurous music inspires others to create instead of mimic. Music becomes so much more than playing what is written on the page, when a person learns how to compose it themselves.

I have worked in a variety of schools, both in location and student population. These experiences have helped me develop a cultural awareness and the pedagogical tools that enable me to work successfully with diverse populations of learners. I am equally energized by teaching beginners as teaching university level performers. I believe music education should have no boundaries regarding genre. I am as comfortable teaching classical music as I am teaching jazz or rock.

Hello! I am a clarinetist who graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp. I offer private ONLINE lessons. For beginners, intermediate and advanced students. Experience teaching for the past 8 years, with children and adults, individual and group lessons. With professional projection or amateur.

If you want to go to a conservatory, I can also help you with my experience preparing for the auditions.

If you want to improve your skills as a musician and have fun with your instrument, this is probably the place for you. Do you want to prepare an audition, to be more flexible playing chamber music, or just having fun playing a jazz standard?

I would like to offer to share my knowledge and help you with any questions and concerns you may have about classical music and other styles.

I am offering online theory lessons. Whether you are preparing for the ABRSM Gr. 5 theory exams or you would like to deepen your knowledge by proceeding to further grades, I am happy to help and guide you through them effectively and efficiently!

<Why learn online?>
Unlike instrumental lessons, learning music theory online does not have any disadvantages. Using zoom, students can learn via shared screen and white board just like face-to-face lessons. Why not save your weekly travel time as well!

<Biography>
I am a concert pianist and a piano teacher native to Japan but I also enjoy teaching music theory very much as I strongly believe understanding of Music Theory can aid your principal instrument playing enormously!
I have been a head of Music Theory Department in a music academy in HK as well as a senior Piano Instructor for the past years. I have previously taught music theory and analysis in HK and UK in both private and group settings for over 13 years. My past students had a 100% passing rate of Gr. 5 theory exam.

Please feel free to contact and let me help you!
