LIM RUO XI FAMA Junior Teacher
Ruo Xi is a piano teacher who believes in enriching lives with music education, whether it be in the form of instrumental tuition or theory and history lessons. She is a recent music graduate from the University of Birmingham (July 2016), and she plays both the piano and the harpsichord.
She also possesses a DipABRSM in piano performance and has experience teaching music to pre-schoolers. She enjoys her interactions with them and loves to see them develop in their musicality and confidence, believing that music education is beneficial and even crucial for child development. Indeed, music is able to accentuate growth in parts of the brain that develop rapidly during childhood; there are many transferable skills to be gained through music education, such as an increased attention span, refined motor skills, sharper auditory processing and faster language-acquisition. On top of these benefits, Ruo Xi hopes that her students will also grow to appreciate and understand music better.
When she is not at the piano, Ruo Xi likes making small things with her sewing machine, baking and playing with her dog.
