My teacher: Mr Lee

I have few teachers in Singapore.
They taught me not in any school but taught me a lot of thing.

My first teacher in Singapore was Mr Lee, conductor of Crescent Girls' School Band at the time. He is not only one of the pioneer band conductor in Singapore, He is a really fantastic musician, conductor and teacher.

Whenever I was free, I went to his school and watched their rehearsals and talked to him during break. We sat in the school canteen, had some copi (never let me pay....) We discussed about music, problem of teaching students etc. He even asked me to go to his house to continue talking. From conversation with him, I really learn how to tech music here and that made me more confident.

"Patience" was his key of teaching bands.
I'd never observed he scolded girls, or any used nasty words. He explained what's wrong and let them repeat again and again. So his band always played very good music with beautiful sound.

And now, many of his students are leading music scene in Singapore as teaching bands or playing music as professional.
