STUDENTS
Boon strives to introduce music, techniques and ideas to his students, guiding them on their individual creative journeys. Students are encouraged to explore all genres of music.
His students have had successes at international music competitions, performance & concert platforms, music festivals, eisteddfods, and music conservatories, including the Royal College of Music London, Rotterdam Conservatory, CRR de Paris, Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music and the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music.
With a primary objective of instilling a lifelong passion for music, Boon works with young musicians to achieve their individual musical goals.
These goals have included:
Concerts & Recitals . Auditions . Scholarship Awards . Examinations & Assessments . Radio broadcast performances . Competitions . Repertoire exploration . Composition portfolio . Commercial release of original compositions . EP release . Starting a professional music career.
Boon took the opportunity to not only stretch and challenge me on the instrument, but also develop in me an appreciation of a broader sense of tonalities, harmonies and music history. That I continue to devote a significant amount of time to music given my full-time job and other competing priorities and interests is a testament to the love of music that Boon imbued within me. The musical successes I have enjoyed (winning concerto competitions, earning scholarships and performing solo recitals) are also in no small part due to his guidance and dedication. I greatly value his advice as a friend and mentor.
I have had the immense pleasure of studying with Boon since 2015. He has played a substantial role in my life and career as a musician to a great extent, guiding me from pre-university to auditioning for and completing a Bachelor of Music. Boon’s professionalism, commitment and knowledge have helped me bring the best out of myself and appreciate the many fulfillments music can bring. I continue to have lessons and sessions with Boon to further my musical career as a pianist, composer and teacher. I am incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to study with Boon and know him as a teacher and mentor.
My heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional mentorship you have provided to Emily in her piano performance. Your focus on building her confidence and skillset has been nothing short of incredible. The recent performance recording (Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 1) by Emily was beyond my imagination, and it is a testament to your excellent tutoring skills and remarkable commitment to elevating her musical abilities.
You have been an inspiration to both Emily and us, and we couldn't be more pleased with the wonderful results. I sincerely hope you will continue your great work and inspire many other talents to reach their full potential.
