Rachael Wong’s Testimonial

YMS had an opportunity to speak with Rachael Wong, a graduate of Yamaha Music School, Thomson Branch:

YMS:

Congratulations Rachael! As a student of Yamaha Music School, you have successfully achieved Yamaha Piano Grade 9-6, Fundamentals Grade 5 and ABRSM Grade 8. We understand you are now studying in Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. Please share with us what diploma/degree you are pursuing?

RACHAEL:

I am currently taking Diploma in Music Teaching

YMS:

What made you decide to choose this path?

RACHAEL:

During my learning journey in Yamaha, I had amazing and very inspiring teachers. Because of them, I look to impart the same love for music to future aspiring musicians!

YMS:

Please share with us about your music lessons in Yamaha. Your parents are welcome to give some comments too.

RACHAEL:

In Yamaha’s unique curriculum, I was able to learn skills such as improvisation and transposition which is something that we are now studying in NAFA as well. This made me realise that my lessons in Yamaha have prepared me so well that I have a good foundation now that I am in a music college. I am able to grasp music concepts quicker, giving me more time to practice and rehearse on my instrument of major instead!

MR. WONG:

I am very satisfied with Rachael’s music achievements during her lessons at Yamaha Music School. I really enjoy her playing!

MRS. WONG :

Rachael has benefitted a lot from Yamaha’s group and individual courses.
