Merry Christmas to everyone!

What a year! I learned a lot as a teacher, daughter, mother, wife, friend and most of all as one of God's children. I still have lots to learn and we should never stop learning. I am grateful that the Almighty God has never stop supporting me and my family all these years!

May we all have a better understanding in life, contentment, happiness and peace as we approach year 2011! Let us embrace the new challenges with an open heart and ask the Almighty God a humble heart for all the blessings.

HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO MY FAMILY;  FRIENDS and RELATIVES FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD!

Featured Student - DANIKKA

The good thing about teaching people how to not just sing but bring out the best in them is the satisfaction I get when I hear how my students use their instruments to touch the hearts of his or her listeners. For instance, Danikka one of my best below 10 years old student. She is only 7 years old and has been with me since February 2010. Just like any other young girl she is carefree and loves to sing. Her issues are breathing a typical problem even for an adult and professional singers! She sings through her nose and didn't have a great vocal projection. Danikka is still very young and doesn't know about her singing instrument so I wasn't expected much from her really.

However, what separate her from the other learners is that she applies the lessons she has learned during our session as soon as she gets the chance to practise at home. I know this because her Mum told me so when I introduced her the different emotions of a human being. I gave her something to work on and her Mum told me she was asking her about it. Just like any other skill or talent if one has the passion and determination there is nothing impossible to get what you want to achieve. Danikka has still lots of things to learn but I can tell you now that she is in the right path to be the best of what she does.
