Based on this belief, she developed many music curriculae for Early Childhood Music Education. She regularly conducts seminars for teachers training in this specialized area. She was also trained in London as an examiner and is currently on the Board of Examiners of the London College of Music.

Thereafter, she represented Malaysia in the South-East Asia Yamaha Electone Festival.

Education Philosophy
It is therefore our mission to provide the kind of music education that the next generation looks for, the kind that offers choice and freedom of expression to the student. The kind that does not force a student into a field of music he or she neither enjoys nor believe in. The kind that inspires them. It is therefore our belief that learning music must be a fun and happy experience with willing students, compassionate teachers, inspiring lessons, and a wide selection of repertoire.
It is often that many of our new students rush to the play the piano when they get home. Parents tell us that their children’s new behavior is puzzling especially when they have, in the past, done everything to AVOID the instrument! This is testament to our teaching methods and curriculum and it confirms that what we are doing is correct. That experience is available
to you now.
