Last week my year 5 girl asked me about my favorite animal and favorite color. This week I received her lovely drawing.

Fish is one of my favorite animal because most fish live in the sea with no land boundaries and they can swim freely.

很多時候家長朋友問我：應該幾多歳開始讓小朋友學習樂器﹖

真的，大部份香港家長很想小朋友贏在起跑線上，3-4歳已經開始學習樂器。彈琴要應付閱讀高音低音譜號及左右手協調，真的不容易啊﹗今年暑假將推出七彩手鈴及鋼琴體驗班，七彩手鈴(Color Bells)是一種可以獨奏或合奏的樂器，簡單容易上手，又可為幼童日後學習其他樂器打好基礎。

My singing student is incredibly talented in music. We have singing lessons since last September. She has an amazing voice and a determination to go for a singing exam.

Are you struggling with turns?

Tips for triumphant turns 🎼

My first concert with Reading Bach Choir. It was amazing to sing acapella with these professional singers. Thanks our conductor Daniel Mahoney.

Heinrich Schütz, Selig sind die Toten

J.S. Bach, Jesu Meine Freude

Tomás Luis de Victoria, Officium Defunctorum

A week to go!

It was a very enjoyable singing day with John Rutter. His compositions embrace the dynamic nature of God’s presence through the words of God and beautiful harmony.

Some people described his choral music as “desserts”. If it is true, he would be the Michelin star chef. 🤩

My pleasure to perform with handbell soloist Emily Li and Hong Kong Youth Handbell Ensemble in National Ringing Week.

Amazing to get the result quickly.

Hard work pays off 🎉

What a wonderful music night with
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and a young talented pianist Shunta Morimoto.

Shunta shared virtuoso and expressive gifts by playing Liszt piano concert no. 1. From his young age, he demonstrated an innate musical maturity and outstanding technical abilities, building a n inspiring bonding with the orchestra.

The concert shined on a spotlight on the dramatic moments behind the 5th Symphony by Beethoven. The opening of the first movement could have more impact by the well-known 4-note motive and the pause. The strings and woodwinds are magnificent, especially the oboe captured a magical time suspending moment. The finale was a great triumphant that sets our hearts on fire. It brought a festive cheers to the Coronation.

My pleasure to meet our choral guests, L’Ensemble Vocal de la Vallee du Tarn, from France and four local soloists.

Glad to sing with SCCS for another Christmas concert.

O Come Emmanuel

Year 4 and 5 students sang beautifully in the summer concert. Congratulations 🎉

My pleasure to work with Margaret Probyn who is a professional opera singer in her farewell concert. Music connects us 🎵

As I experienced life more, I have a deeper understanding of the music this time despite I sang it several times before.

Merry Christmas 🎄

This video illustrates the beauty of handbell ringing - teamwork that made the music fun, lively and unique.

Thanks my DHA babies for making it happened.

Got a new pair of organ shoes 🤩

This video reminds me of having some experimental music in the 20th century music class in university. It's truly fun to explore different sounds on piano with friends 😁 So, who is kind enough to borrow me a grand and allow me to have a try? 🧐

Playing duet is fun and it really develops musicianship skills 😆

Here comes Mozart’s Sonata K448 for two pianos🎵

The recording is not perfect but it’s an incredible way to learn a lot through recording and evaluation.
