TESTIMONIALS
"Pamela was a participant in my seminars on Piano Pedagogy and Teaching Methodology at the Universität Mozarteum Salzburg from 2009 to 2015 and it was my pleasure to witness her development over the years. During this time as a student in my seminars, Pamela demonstrated plenty of empathy and musical sensibility in her teaching demonstrations with her own students. Throughout these demonstrations, Pamela played music in a cultivated way with a variety of tone colour and stylistic nuances, which led to a refinement of her students’ musical perception and in turn, motivating them to practise. At the same time, she could offer explanations and give feedback with precise clarity as to what steps had to be taken, so that a student could improve and attain an astounding level of playing in a short time. Her compassion and warmth are qualities that enable her to work with many different types of student personalities. I can only recommend with wholehearted enthusiasm, Pamela’s competency as a pianist and piano pedagogue!"

“Ms Pamela is a dedicated teacher who gives clear, insightful guidance in her lessons. She teaches her students to use effective practice methods and is uncompromising when it comes to developing healthy technical foundations. It was always a joy to work on pieces with her – often it felt like we were discovering, rather than just learning, a piece of music, and finding ways to best communicate its character. She has an ear for detail and a heart for the sublime, and her meticulous approach has deepened my understanding of the piano invaluably."

“As a transfer student (mature adult) under the guidance of Ms. Pam, I regret not starting lessons with her earlier. Over the past two years, Ms. Pam taught me various techniques to improve my piano skills and could simplify complex segments for better understanding and execution. Her commitment to ensuring students play pieces musically and correctly is unmatched. Most of her students, including myself, achieved Distinction in their ABRSM exams, but she always emphasized that our love for music should be our primary motivation.
I highly recommend Ms. Pam to any aspiring pianist.”

“We are deeply grateful to Ms Pamela for her dedication and guidance in my daughter’s piano journey. She places great emphasis on building a strong foundation, getting the basics right from technique to musicality while ensuring that my daughter truly enjoys playing. Under her teaching, my daughter has not only improved significantly in technique but also gained confidence in her playing, it is heartening to see her play with such ease and enthusiasm today.
Ms Pamela is a teacher who nurtures both skill and passion, making lessons structured yet engaging. Her approach fosters long-term development, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and inspiring piano teacher.”

Shuyi, 11, has been learning the piano under Pamela since she was about 7. Pamela is passionate about music education. Under her patient guidance, Shuyi has been playing with more musicality and sensitivity. She is better able to appreciate the nuances and beauty of each piece she has learnt, and has played piano music from different periods and styles, thanks to Pamela’s extensive knowledge of piano repertoire!"

“My daughter, Sophia, started as a beginner student with Pamela since 3 years ago. Pamela is a competent piano teacher who is able to impart good techniques, give accurate feedback and communicate instructions effectively. Her wide range of piano repertoire allows her to choose suitable, yet interesting, pieces for my daughter to develop her skills as a pianist. She is also a very committed teacher, regularly checking in with me on my daughter’s progress. Under her tutelage, Sophia has made significant progress, with a deep appreciation of classical music. I highly recommend Pamela to any piano student who is looking for an enjoyable yet
fulfilling music education.”

I am writing to express my heartfelt appreciation for Teacher Pamela and the incredible impact she has had on my child’s musical journey. My son, Song Mingze, has been taking piano lessons with Pamela for 2 years, and the progress he has made under her guidance has been remarkable.
Pamela is able to connect with young students, making lessons both educational and enjoyable. Her patience, encouragement, and deep knowledge of music has helped Mingze develop confidence and a genuine love for playing the piano. She tailors her teaching approach to suit Mingze’s learning style, ensuring that Mingze feels both challenged and supported.
Beyond technical skills, Pamela has instilled in my child a deep appreciation for music, discipline, and perseverance. Thanks to her dedication, Mingze has grown into a more confident and expressive pianist. I wholeheartedly recommend Pamela to any parent looking for a skilled, passionate, and nurturing piano instructor.
TRACY
“We are really fortunate to have found Pamela when I was looking for a new piano teacher for my son (J) back in 2019. Pamela is a wonderful teacher because she truly loves the piano and enjoys working with her students to foster that same love and passion for the instrument. When it comes to embarking on new pieces to work on, she would co-select them together with J, offering choices that not only matches his skill level but also challenging him enough that he needs to work hard to master them. With her keen knowledge in music, strong communication skills and dedication, Pamela is able to observe things about J’s playing (both technically and musically) to help him improve and grow. Grateful that Pamela has guided J well in building good habits like focus and perseverance, diligence and creativity in his music journey."
