Ms. Fu Jin Xia
Teacher, Piano Performance Programme
An avid educator and pianist, Fu Jinxia has been joyously contributing to the music scene with the vision of empowering others through music.
Affectionately known as Lauren to her students, Jinxia has been teaching a wide range of students (both individual and group) from 4 to 60 years old since 2018. She believes in a holistic learning approach, integrating various aspects of music-making (practical, theory, aural, history, musicianship) into lessons. These enable her students to develop a strong foundation, and a deeper appreciation and love for music in the long haul.
Jinxia graduated from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts with a Bachelors of Music (Hons), under the tutelage of Ms Lena Ching. Her participation in masterclasses with Prof. Andreas Weber, Claudius Tanski, Nigel Clayton, Ilya Kondratiev, and Philip Smith have greatly broadened her understanding and appreciation of Western Classical Music. Her pursuit of excellence has led her to enter several competitions such as the Nanyang International Music Competition (2021: Bronze, 2019: Silver), and the Nanyang International Piano Academy Competition (2019, 2021: Gold).
Besides developing her skills as a soloist, Jinxia has grown as a chamber musician by being an accompanist for choirs, vocalists and instrumentalists, happy to share the stage with them for performances and competitions. Jinxia has also taken interest in other music genres, singing in community choirs and playing in wind bands as a percussionist. Her latest exploration involves composing music for theatre, of which her sound design was selected to premiere at Centre 42's Black Box.
