What if music wasn’t just heard—but seen and felt?I am a passionate and dedicated harpist currently pursuing my undergraduate studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London under Professor Karen Vaughn. Originally from Hong Kong, I’ve been based in the UK for over six years, where I’ve developed both as a performer and a scholar. I studied at Wells Cathedral School, one of the UK’s top music specialist institutions, where I was awarded a music scholarship and specialized in harp. I also received scholarships from the Guildhall School of Music and Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, and have earned full offers from all the UK conservatoires I applied to.Over the years, I have been fortunate to achieve several notable distinctions, including winning first place at the Hong Kong Youth Cup International Music Contest, receiving the Larry Adler Award from the Royal Academy of Music for the 2024/2025 academic year, and earning an ATCL Harp Diploma with distinction. I have also been awarded the John Baxter Cup and the Yfrah Neaman Strings Cup at the Wells Cathedral School, and achieved top honors and outstanding results in competitions such as the Mid-Somerset Festival and the Hong Kong Virtuosos Music Competition.In addition to my performance career, I am passionate about teaching and have worked with students as a private harp tutor in the UK including a countess from Spain. Through these experiences, I have developed a strong desire to inspire others with the power of music
