Background, Performance & Achievement
Wendy started learning piano at a very young age and attained Grade 7 practical and grade 5 theory with ABRSM in her teens. Her immense passion for music and performing made her decide to further her music study with Lasalle College of the Arts for three years where she graduated with a Diploma in Music. During her course of study, she majored in piano, popular music and performed with a band weekly. She also went through modules such as history of popular music, transcription, theory, aural, writing, cultural study, technical theatre arts and arts management. She also found her passion for sharing and teaching music in college. She taught piano in her college days to kindergarten children after their daily lesson as an enrichment programme. She continued her teaching at Cristofori Music School before moving to part time private coaching and finally, to full time private coaching currently.
Wendy is currently married with 2 beautiful young girls. Wendy currently teaches music and piano using an Australian syllabus, Encore Music, which was introduced by a good friend. Wendy was personally trained by the two founders; Mark & Morna. Wendy had taught the programme in schools prior to giving birth and now she conducts group lessons at home in Yishun, for children from as young as 2 years old.
Style of Teaching
She believes in developing her student's passion and interest as well as kindling the child's interest to practice willingly. As a passionate lover of music, she believes in kindling the individual’s interest rather than employing the rod. She also firmly believes that Music is for the Everyman, not just for the high brow. Being a firm yet cheerful teacher, seeing her student's joy and enjoyment while playing the piano is her biggest motivation to help realise her student’s potential.
