With a deep passion for cello ensembles, my musical journey has taken me across prestigious stages in America, Europe, and Asia, including performances in London, Cambridge, Birmingham, Taipei, Myanmar, and the Disney Concert Hall in California. As the founder of EnCello Toronto, I am dedicated to blending professional performances with educational outreach. Through concerts, workshops, and community events, EnCello provides emerging cellists with enriching opportunities to learn, grow, and excel, fostering a vibrant musical community. We’ve recently performed alongside our apprentices at various events—check more on our Instagram: @encellotoronto. As a dedicated cello instructor, I focus on equipping students with the skills they need for success in exams, auditions, and competitions. My comprehensive approach includes performance techniques, music theory, and listening skills, along with regular opportunities for students to showcase their progress through performances. These experiences lead to rapid improvement and a lasting passion for the cello. In 2015, I returned to Taiwan to teach and perform, joining El Sistema Taiwan to provide music education to underprivileged children, continuing my commitment to making music accessible to all.
