KHOO HUI LING & RYAN LEWIS, presenters

ABOUT THIS EVENT
The Learning Curve is a new and ongoing series led by Khoo Hui Ling exploring challenging aspects of teaching and learning in music education. It is a discussion not just for educators, but for students and parents too; it tackles issues both public and private music educators may confront, raises questions students can reflect on and discusses decisions that parents often struggle with. ‘Teaching Collaboratively’ is the second of this series. It explores the benefits of teaming up with fellow teachers in classroom and instrumental teaching, and strategies behind collaborative teaching. It is an honest discussion of the challenges and prejudices in teaching it brings up.

ABOUT THE PRESENTERS
For pianist Khoo Hui Ling, playing the piano is a vulnerable and precious expression of what is in the heart beyond where words can go. She enjoys sharing this experience through both performing and teaching. Hui Ling is currently Instructor in Music Studies at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, and Founder and Pedagogy Consultant at The Music Studios, where she mentors piano teachers and students. Prior to her current teaching appointments, she has taught in various capacities as a teaching intern at the Peabody Preparatory, a Graduate Teaching Fellow at the University of Oregon and a Higher Music Programme teacher at Nanyang Girls’ High School in Singapore.

Ryan Lewis is a pianist and music educator from the UK. Currently working with ABRSM, he is the South & East Asia Regional Consultant with a role to help develop their work and support teachers across the region, as well as being a graded music examiner and workshop presenter. Ryan graduated from King’s College London and studied piano at the Royal Academy of Music. He also studied composition and piano at the University of Toronto, Canada. More recently, Ryan completed a Master’s degree in educational leadership, which was affiliated through the Institute of Education, University College London, passing with distinction and awarded the University of London Academic Achievement Prize. His research focused on developing learning communities among private music studio teachers and he has since presented conference papers on this topic across Southeast Asia.
