Currently, she is furthering her expertise by pursuing a Master's degree in Teaching (Secondary) at the University of Melbourne, with the goal of shaping the next generation of musicians.

    Jasmine's journey with the piano began at the age of seven, inspired by her mother’s playing. Growing up, she found joy in listening to her mother’s music and aspired to experience the same fulfillment. She pursued her passion with dedication, completing the Trinity ATCL Diploma in piano, which further refined her skills and musicianship. That sense of joy is what she now strives to instill in her students. With a teaching philosophy centered on both excellence and enjoyment, Jasmine ensures her students feel confident in their ability to achieve quality playing while having fun. Her goal is to create a supportive and inspiring learning environment where students can develop their skills, creativity, and lifelong love for music.

    In addition to piano, Jasmine’s musical journey has been enriched by other instruments. Her mother also taught her violin, guiding her till Grade 8, which deepened her understanding of string instruments and musicianship. Beyond formal lessons, Jasmine took the initiative to teach herself the ukulele, an instrument she has deeply enjoyed exploring. This diverse musical background has broadened her perspective as a teacher, allowing her to connect with students who have different musical interests and aspirations.
