Tiger is teaching a young student at the piano studio

Communication Beyond the Notes

One of the most valuable lessons from teaching young students was discovering how powerful clear communication can be. Simple, encouraging, and specific instructions often led to immediate improvements, reminding me that teaching and performing share a common goal: communicating ideas in a way that others can understand and respond to.

Lunch time concert piano accompany with singers

Performance Journal - Accompany with Singers

A brief moment of misalignment during a lunchtime concert became a quiet test of listening and adaptability. While accompanying singers, I had to quickly adjust when the entry came earlier than expected, finding my place again without interrupting the musical flow. It was a reminder that true accompaniment is not just preparation, but the ability to respond calmly and musically in real time.

Performance Journal – Frescobaldi's organ music

Performing Recercar su Sancta Maria at the Bach Birthday Organ Concert became a deeply rewarding experience, especially when the addition of live singers transformed the texture into something richer, clearer, and more expressive. The interplay between the delicate organ tone and the purity of human voices brought a new depth to the music, highlighting the importance of listening, balance, and collaboration in Baroque performance.

5AM: Discipline Over Motivation

Training at 5:00 am, before the sun rises, isn’t about excitement or energy, it’s about discipline. Rowers push through the routine, synchronising each stroke with focus and responsibility. The lesson extends beyond the water: in music, real progress comes not from waiting to “feel ready,” but from showing up consistently, practicing with structure, and embracing repetition.

Performance Journal: Playing the Space, Not Just the Piano

Thank you, @ryde.eisteddfod, for inviting me to perform at the inaugural trial Piano Partnership event.

It was an honour to perform the third movement of Rachmaninov’s Cello Sonata in G minor, Op. 19 with a very talented cellist and celebrate the joy of collaborative music-making.

I am deeply honoured to be awarded First Prize at the @mimasfestival 2026.

My sincere thanks to the distinguished jury for their time and thoughtful evaluation, and to the organisers for creating such a wonderful platform for young musicians from around the world.

Although I won’t be able to attend the Gala Concert due to school commitments in Australia, I am truly grateful for this recognition and hope to participate again in the future.

A few months ago, I shared a practice journal about refining the touch of one of the works. Looking back, it‘s a reminder that progress comes from many small decisions made over time. I’m grateful that this journey culminated in receiving First Prize, and I‘m excited to continue learning beyond this competition.

Finally, thank you to my teacher, my family, and everyone who has supported my musical journey.

📌Think about it - the tree trunk stays solid But the leaves move and sway. tree trunk being – the left hand keeping the beat. And the leaves being – the right hand melody, flowing freely.
The structure stays stable, but within it, there’s freedom and life.
That��‘s the secret to rubato!

Before the concert begins, I listen. Feeling the space, shaping the sound. Use less pedal than usual in certain phrases and RH touch deeply so that the melody stands out clearly, and the beautiful tune can be easily understood.
That’s how Chopin and Kapustin came alive last night. 🥰
