Principal: Ms Tan

Ms Tan's musical journey started when she joined Chinese Orchestra CCA in secondary school and junior college (JC) as a Chinese Flute/Dizi member and Sectional Leader. After JC, at the age of 19, she decided to pick up the piano, flute and vocals for leisure, and managed to achieve grade 8 certifications in these instruments within a span of a few years. This allowed her to start her music teaching career in her early twenties.

​

Back in secondary school, she entered a junior college (JC) of her choice via Direct School Admission (DSA) using her musical talents. It was then when she realised she wanted her future career to be strongly related to music. Thus, she chose to enrol in LASALLE College of the Arts after JC, where she was awarded the LASALLE Scholarship, and graduated with First Class Honours. In LASALLE, she focused her research on how to improve the quality of classical music education in Singapore. While furthering her studies in King's College London, she achieved the King's Interdisciplinary (Thinking Creativity) Award, and her Masters thesis focused on classical music performances on digital platforms.

​

At the same time, she also partakes in songwriting leisurely and has released a few singles which were selected to be listed on multiple playlists on Spotify with more than 30,000 streams per song. 2 of her originals were also featured on radio on 96.3FM and 93.3 FM. In years 2023 and 2024, 3 of her songs were selected as Top 24 entries in a nationwide Mandopop songwriting competition (SGSW). One of which also won the SCCC Xchange Award and had an MV released by Ocean Butterflies.

​

She has 15 years of experience teaching students for leisure or preparing students for music examinations. With her teaching experiences, topped up with her strong entrepreneurial spirit, she decided to set up Silversnow Music School to spread her love of music and joy to all students enrolled in the school. She always believes that it is never too late to learn music or anything, and is constantly upgrading herself even till today. She is currently undertaking her Doctoral studies in Nanyang Technological University, focusing her research on learners' motivations and assessments in the field of music education.​
