We are a team of teachers who believe in the Mission of the Pacifica Music Academy.
Liuyi has actively performed on stage with various orchestras and chamber groups since 2009. Having toured from Singapore to Hong Kong, Sweden, and London, Liuyi performed with prominent musicians and conductors including Gunnar Julin, Joel Navarro, Gentilia Pop, Sabina Zweiacker, among many others. She also participated in music festivals such as the Hong Kong Music for Our Young Foundation (HKMOY) International and Winter Music Festivals, Min-On Global Music Festival in Singapore, and London China Exchange Concert Series.
Liuyi’s orchestra positions include section leader (First Violin) and executive committee of the National University of Singapore Symphony Orchestra (NUSSO), assistant concertmistress with the Swedish KTH:s Akademiska Kapell, as well as student leader and mentorship roles in both Hwa Chong and Nanyang Girls’ String Ensembles. Liuyi appeared as soloist with the NUSSO in a live concert, performing Danse Macabre by Saint-Saëns, and served as the principal string player in the Conducting Recital of Alicia Wimar Khunius.
Prior to joining Pacifica Music Academy, Liuyi had 7 years of experience coaching youths and young children. Her individual teaching approach derives from traditional methods of her teachers Lillian Wang and Lin Erjia. Group teaching experience includes coaching peers and juniors from Hwa Chong and Nanyang Girls’ String Ensembles, HKMOY and NUSSO. Liuyi also received her pedagogy training from the Jacobs School of Music Retreat for Violin and Viola teachers, an intensive pedagogy program offered by Indiana University String Academy based on teaching methodologies of Suzuki, Paul Rolland and Mimi Zweig.
Liuyi believes that violin playing is never an exclusive joy, but a happiness that can be shared in many different ways. During her participation with the Hong Kong Music for Our Young Foundation from 2012 to 2017 in Singapore, Hong Kong and the UK, Liuyi mentored and coached children from diverse family backgrounds. As these children learnt the violin, they ultimately enjoyed what was beyond a specialized skill: friendship, confidence and compassion. Liuyi also performed for a fund-raising event for The Singapore Association for the Deaf, and through her violin playing, brought music to members of Lions Befrienders and TOUCH Young Arrows.
Liuyi loves hiking with friends to observe wildlife. She is (almost!) always the first one to spot a mudskipper sun-bathing on the shore, or a flying squirrel perching on a tree branch. Liuyi also enjoys cooking and reading.
