"Ashraaf and his friends were taught by Lillian and her fellow colleagues from the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra under the program called Junior Violin Programme since they were 5 years old. The teachers made it easy for the kids to learn basic music theory using the Solfege method and correct violin fundamentals in a fun way! Now Ashraaf is 17 years old and working towards furthering his studies in violin. Thanks teachers!"
