In my 20th year of being the Malaysian Philharmonic's Piccolo player in Kuala Lumpur, I love to perform, teach, communicate and collaborate with my trademark enthusiasm! I look forward to sharing these loves with you all and meeting many wonderful people here on my page.

Our opening July concert with WASO at Winthrop Hall was a brilliant collective challenge, led beautifully by conductor Anja Bihlmaier. Performing "The Saqqara Bird" by contemporary Australian composer Melody Eötvös involved some very exposed piccolo lines—especially when I found my parts cued into the majority of the orchestra's scores! 😳Very grateful for the kind mention in The West Australian review.🗞️

We paired it with Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony—always a major test of physical stamina. Proud to share the stage with such phenomenal colleagues for this team effort.

🎼 Take a look at the attached excerpt from the finale. How many high A’s can you spot on this final page? Drop your answers below!

Joyous teaching and coaching of enthusiastic fellow Queenslanders during my recent winter break on the East Coast! ☀️

Proud and honoured to work with current students and recent graduates of my beloved old QLD Con, as well as UQ. It was inspiring to be part of such a warm, collaborative environment—the organisation was smooth and the vibe was so enthusiastic!

We dived into a great variety of flute and piccolo techniques:
🎶 Sonority & a singing sound
✨ Performance presence & vibrato
⚡ Finger action & legato connectivity
🎼 Relaxed third-octave piccolo & AYO excerpts
🎯 Effective practice strategies for accuracy and detail
🙌🏻 lunch chats about career and life choices
What an inspiring group of musicians! I can’t wait to see your futures evolve ! 🦄

Bravo to your amazing teachers putting in the hard lifting - Tim, Alison, Patrick 🪈 xx

2025 education wrap‑up: 11 masterclasses, around 250 attendees and 80 participants across UWA in Perth, plus Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Focusing on piccolo, body awareness and winning auditions has been a highlight of my year, and it’s a privilege to support the next generation of players and teachers.
