Educational Philosophy
I believe in music as a tool for connection, expression, and community building. My practice values play, inquiry, and listening as pathways to meaningful learning.
Welcome
Teaching Experience: I teach music across Early Childhood and Primary School, working with students from Pre-K 2 through Year 5 in an international school setting.
Teaching Approach: My teaching is grounded in inquiry-based and play-based learning, aligned with the IB PYP framework. I design engaging, student-centered experiences that encourage creativity, collaboration, and musical exploration.
Impact & Leadership: I have led whole-school music initiatives, including large-scale performances involving over 500 students (200 in Early Childhood and 300 in Primary). I also serve as Lead Teacher for Specialist Teachers, supporting collaboration, alignment, and the development of high-quality learning experiences across the school.In addition, I developed and implemented music programs such as percussion ensembles and ukulele classes, expanding students’ access to meaningful musical experiences.
