Emi’s musical journey began at age 5, trained at Yamaha Music Malaysia and through private lessons. She completed ABRSM Grades 2, 3, and 4 in just 12 months, achieving Grade 8 and performing at numerous concerts and festivals.

After earning an LLB Law (Hons) from Coventry University, Emi spent over two decades building a successful career across financial services and energy sectors in London's square mile. Her passion for music then led to the founding of Emi Piano Studio, which has quickly gained success. The studio maintains a 100% ABRSM success rate, with students confidently performing at various recitals, concerts, festival and events, and demand for lessons continues to grow.

Today, Emi blends her classical music expertise with an innovative approach and corporate experience to inspire the next generation of musicians. Outside the studio, she enjoys cycling, hiking, theatre, travel, world history, and cooking - passions that fuel her creativity and love for music.

"Playing the piano is not just about hitting the right keys, it's about expressing your emotions and telling a story through music. My goal as a piano teacher is to help my students develop their own unique musical voice and find joy in the process of learning and playing the piano."
