Currently, I am affiliated with the Royal College of Music’s Teaching Service as a music tutor and serve as an official examiner for the Cambridge IGCSE Music Exam. I obtained my master’s in composition with distinction at the Royal College of Music (No.1 by QS World Ranking, 2023) and undergraduate music degree with 1st-class honours at the University of Hong Kong. Currently, I am completing the last year of my doctorate in composition at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama (No.1 by Guardian Ranking, 2023). I am passionate about music and am committed to helping students achieve their musical goals in every possible way. So, if you are looking to take music theory exams, improve academic music grades (IGCSE, GCSE, A-Level, IB, AP), develop your aural skills, explore the art of composition, learn about music software (Sibelius, Dorico, Logic Pro), write your music essays, then I probably have something for you. I have extensive experience teaching on Zoom, Skype, and Teams, and am fully equipped to provide an exceptional learning experience. A distinguished composer in my own right, I have been shortlisted to represent the UK in the ISCM World New Music Days (Sound and Music) and written works for prestigious bodies worldwide, including the Bloomsbury Festival (London) and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. Besides composing, I am also an avid conductor.

I particularly enjoyed having the lessons in my own home using Zoom without the need to travel. Owen explained music theory very clearly and has helped me filled my knowledge gaps. I cannot believe I actually achieved 91/100 for my Grade 5 ABRSM exam at the end...!
I passed grade 5 theory with distinction! Owen's been very patient throughout my lessons and I found his approach extremely helpful in helping me achieve the best results.
I have learnt theory from Owen previously. For me (maybe not the same for others), because I was in a rush to complete the theory course so that I could take the approaching exam, rather than teaching normally bottom-up, Owen taught top-down. That is, he gave me practice papers and went through questions whichever I found difficult to handle.
I think that was a great method for me personally, and I also memorised stuff more effectively - though of course, if I were given another chance, I would hope to do a bottom-up theory course (which I can tell Owen is fully capable of) just so I would grasp music theory more fundamentally! But anyway, I have really to thank Owen for crashing through the course with me IN TIME for my case!
I believe other students will benefit from Owen's flexible, tailored-to-student teaching.Owen's expertise in music is exceptional, and what's more invaluable is his rationale of teaching: he is a teacher who cares for the well-being of students and hence he does not only focus on the subject being taught, but would relate it to the wider context.
