A passionate and innovative Secondary School Teacher with over 10 years of experience in fostering a dynamic classroom environment that nurtures creativity, critical thinking, and musical proficiency. Central to my teaching philosophy is the belief in building an inclusive, student-centric and values-driven education that prioritizes the joy of learning. Adept at utilizing educational technology to enhance student learning and engagement, I have presented at national conferences (๐.๐. ๐ด๐๐ก๐ ๐ธ๐๐ข๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐โ๐๐๐ ' ๐ถ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ธ๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐น๐๐ ๐ก) and workshops (๐.๐. ๐๐ข๐ ๐๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐๐๐ข๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐ก๐ค๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฟ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐๐ข๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ , ๐๐๐ด๐ ๐ถโ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ โ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ต๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐โ๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ก ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ก๐.) on topics such as e-pedagogy and differentiated instructions (DI) with technology. I have also been invited by the Singapore Teachers' Academy for the aRts (STAR) to share my effective application of educational technology in music teaching with music education professors from Japan's Joetsu University of Education and Odawara Junior College of Education.
