About Shawn
Shawn began his piano journey at the age of 5 and discovered his passion for music performance in his teens after being inspired by Maksim Mrvica’s iconic Flight of the Bumblebee.

Teaching Philosophy
Shawn aims to inspire a lifelong love and appreciation for Classical Music in his students. He uses purposeful teaching methods tailored to each student’s needs, believing that every practice session should have intention and focus. His goal is to help students practice smarter, not just longer, so their progress is both efficient and meaningful.
โ
Shawn’s teaching extends beyond the piano itself. He often reminds students, “If you can sing, you can play,” encouraging a holistic, visual-mental approach to learning. This mindset allows students to explore, have fun, and step beyond traditional practice routines — all while making their practice more effective.
