Music Director Jada Kwan
Meet Jada Kwan, our young and innovative music program director with a passion for modernising classical music education and early childhood education.
Jada graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance from the Royal Welsh College of Music in the UK under the tutelage of celebrated mentors such as Lucy Gould, founder of Gould Trio, BBC National Orchestra of Wales concert master Nick Whiting & Itzhak Rashkovsky of the Royal College of Music London.
Jada's teaching philosophy emphasises creative expression and experimenting with different styles and techniques. She believes that by adopting a more progressive approach to music education, students can better develop a more holistic understanding of music.
In her free time, Jada enjoys performing both as a soloist and chamber musician, frequently performing in various orchestras and live events in Singapore!
