Jasmine obtained her music degree at University Putra Malaysia in 2016. During her 4 years here, she was under the tutelage of Dr Joanne Yeoh, Dr Andrew Filmer, Mr Lau Yew Han & Ms Mabel Wong. She also had the privilege to take a few masterclasses by Dr Goh Chia-Chien. These amazing tutors have greatly inspired her to teach.
Besides violin, she also picked up flute & piccolo as her minor instruments during her studies in UPM, under the tutelage of Dr Jennifer Teng & Foo Chie Haur (National Symphony Orchestra Flute Principal). She used to perform with UPM Symphony Orchestra & once served as flute principal. She performed as flute soloist for MH370 Musical Tribute in Putra Idol 2 Grand Final.
Additionally, she has an interest in psychology & spent her internship working with registered music therapist, Ms Cheryl Mow, assisting & co-conducting both individual & group therapy sessions.
Jasmine’s teaching philosophy is about making learning fun as she strongly believes that students learn best in a positive & encouraging environment. She also understands that every student is different & tailors her teaching methods according to her students’ needs. It is Jasmine’s goal as a teacher to help students appreciate the beauty of music & build their character to become better persons.
