Beatrice KHOR Xin Yu (2016)

Tell us about UK. You were there and I heard it was quite an experience.

Yes! I’ve been there twice, both times for piano courses. The first was in 2016 for the Overseas Masters Winter Piano Academy, which was held at the Yehudi Menuhin School and hosted by the Malaysian pianist, Bobby Chen. The OMWPA was initially for Malaysian students, though it has opened up to Southeast Asians now. To give you an idea of the activities, we had lessons in ear training, sight reading and composition, to name a few. A number of ‘first times’ also happened there- I got to play a harpsichord, visit London and travel without my parents for the first time in my life!
