your music, your story.

A Lifelong Love Story with Music

Hello, and welcome! I’m Ferlyn, and my journey with music began at the age of six when I first sat at a piano. From that moment, the language of music became my own—a way to express joy, wonder, and every emotion in between. That initial spark grew into a lifelong passion, leading me to explore the expressive violin and the versatile guitar, and ultimately to my greatest joy: sharing this gift with others.

​

For over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of guiding students on their own musical paths. My experience teaching at Yamaha Music School in Kuala Lumpur and in Singapore has given me a rich foundation in structured music education. But more importantly, it has shown me that every student is unique. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to learning music; it's about nurturing each individual's spark and shaping them into lifelong music lovers.

​

My Teaching Philosophy: Patience, Passion, and Play

I believe that music comes from the heart. It is a form of expression, not a task to be perfected under pressure. My teaching is built on three core principles:

​

1. Patience and Love: I create a warm, supportive, and scold-free environment. When a student feels safe and encouraged, their creativity flourishes, and the music they produce is truly beautiful. We learn best when we feel loved, not judged.
2. Fun and Foundation: Especially for my younger students, we learn by doing! We might move around, use mini instruments, and clap rhythms to build a strong, intuitive foundation for understanding music. 
3. Story and Emotion: Technique is essential, but feeling is what brings music to life. I love helping students imagine a story behind the notes they play—to feel the emotion of the piece. This is how we transform notes on a page into a powerful, personal performance that can touch hearts.

The Power of Music Together

My belief in the unifying power of music extends beyond the studio. I have served as a church pianist from a young age and have thrillingly performed in large ensembles, like conducting a musical cantata for a 30-member choir and orchestra. There is nothing quite like the feeling of unity when individuals come together, moving as one towards a common goal through music. It is a powerful reminder that music connects us all.

​

I’ve seen firsthand how music can heal and express what words cannot. In a world that often asks us to hide our emotions, music offers a ray of hope and light—a space where we can truly be ourselves. It is this transformative power that I strive to share with every student who walks through my door.
