My background

I was lucky enough to be introduced to music at an early age, first learning to play the piano at the age of 5, followed by music theory. During my teenage years, I developed my knowledge of harmony, jazz improvisation and counterpoint at a community music school brimming with passion and freedom. At age 16, I began learning a new instrument: the violin, which I had always dreamed of playing. It was also during this time that I began composing more seriously and started teaching piano.

Since then I’ve been teaching to lots of different students, children, teenagers and mostly adults, all of whom have helped me develop my teaching methods. I was able to extend this teaching approach through two voluntary internships: in 2022 at the music centre of Montpellier’s central multimedia library for 6 weeks full-time, and between 2022 and 2023, at the Arthur Honegger Conservatory part-time. I gave free lessons there, and also developed music workshops, including cinema and film music workshops, particularly for neurodivergent audiences. All of this helped me cultivate my desire and develop my means to pass on music!

I’ve been able to pursue this passion for music in many different types of institutions: from a private teacher to a more demanding public school, then from a thriving community music school all the way to the conservatory. After being admitted to Sciences Po Paris, the flexibility of my third year allowed me to study full-time for one year at the renowned Department of Music at National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU). Upon arriving in Paris, my High-Level Artist status at Sciences Po enabled me to further my professional development: I attended the American School of Modern Music and the Jean-Philippe Rameau and Claude Debussy conservatories, training in film scoring and eventually earning admission to the Specialized Cycle at the Paris Regional Conservatory. All this while pursuing my Master’s degree in European Affairs and cultural policy at Sciences Po.

This varied background, with its diversity of institutions, methods and cultures, has only strengthened my passion for music, and my determination to learn it, to play it and, above all, to teach and create it.
