Brenda Nguyen
Specialty: Piano, Drums & Guitar
Hi there! For those of you who don't know me yet, my name is Brenda Nguyen! I grew up being surrounded by music all the time. I started learning piano at the age of 4 (continued through till 2nd year at the music department of the University of British Columbia). I learned all different types of styles including classical, pop, jazz, improvisation, accompanying, song-writing/composition and much more! I am also a self-taught drummer and I started playing for church worship teams as the drummer. My love for music continued to grow as I grew up and by the age of 16 I knew I wanted to pursue music as a career. I studied at the University of British Columbia and graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Percussion. I also picked up guitar along the way and I enjoy playing and singing with my guitar, playing classical guitar, and so much more! I have a passion for music, I love kids and I love teaching! This is the perfect career for me, because I am able to do what I love every day!

Rebecca Hsin
Specialty: Piano
Rebecca Hsin discovered her love for music at the age of 4 when she first started playing the piano. For over 14 years, she studied at the Royal Conservatory of Music, specializing in classical music with a completion of level 10. As someone who loves watching movies, Rebecca often arranges her favourite pop songs and other genres of music for herself and her students. After all, music is about having fun! So, who says you can’t learn music through Disney?
Rebecca has experience teaching youth and younger levels. Her lessons often incorporate senses other than touch, such as clapping the rhythm and singing the notes, as music is much more profound than pressing a key. She loves getting to know the student and incorporating their interests to teach new and challenging techniques on the instrument. Her patience is one of the many traits students love about her. As a student herself, she knows exactly what you are going through. Rebecca hopes to show others the wonders of music and create the same enthusiasm she has for life-long musical studies.
Huong Nguyen
Specialty: Piano
I have been playing piano since I was 5 years old! I have always enjoyed playing and performing! I grew up learning Classical Music through the Royal Conservatory of Music Program alongside with Pop music as well! Aside from Classical Music and Pop, I have studied a little bit of jazz, I can improvise and accompany vocalists, and I have also composed. Music is still a big part of my life and I perform on a weekly basis at church. I enjoy improvising and playing pop music and can instill the love of music in you/your child! I am able to adapt and make the music lessons quite fun for young kids to stay focused!
I enjoy teaching kids of all ages and I have a lot of experiences with working with children! I used to teach Sunday school to many different age groups and also ran summer bible camps working with a large amount of kids!
