I started classical piano lessons when I was 4 years old and my piano teacher in Singapore was a former student of Shobi.！『as（mpressed by her classsical as well as jazz piano skills which I was keen to study as well.

Being trained in Early Childhood Education, I am interested in teaching children, especially using music as a tool. When I was considering my options to further my studies, I decided to pick Japan, since this is the country’amous for pedagogical methods and impressive Early Childhood programs.

> After hearing my teacher share about her interesting‘xperience at Shobi, I decided to sign up for the piano instructor course here at Shobi.

> There is quite a well-varied mix of international students here and of course, my Japanese classmates are a joy to be with! Their level of commitment and discipline is a source of encouragement to me and after coming to Shobi, I was pushed to a level beyond what I》hought I was capable of!!

The teachers and lecturers here are knowledgable and friendly and I settled down（n the school within the first few months. Studying［usic in Japanese might be challenging at first, but it turns out that music is quite a universal language afterall. Being an international student means you have to put in more effort but it pays off in the long run! As long as you have the passion, I believe that language will not be a problem at all.l.

At Shobi, we not only have personal piano lessons, but we are also exposed to Ensemble Playing, Jazz piano, Composing and many more.
｀usic making has never been more fun!

I remember one of my first year teacher at Shobi》elling me:`You can definitely learn about music from books or even from the Internet. You didn`t have to travel to Japan. However it is from（nteracting with》he people,》hat you learn many valuable lessons, isn`t it?` Indeed, I have learnt plenty from my life as an international student here in Japan∥nd I am《ure that》hese, are the riches that I can bring back with me when I go back to Singapore.？gapore.ﾂ
