Anita Shum, ​​Piano

Anita's musical journey began in Hong Kong with a passion for piano that led her to achieve ABRSM Level 8 certificate. During her undergraduate years at the University of Idaho, where she pursued a degree in Music Education, she started teaching piano privately. This early experience solidified her commitment to music education and ignited her enthusiasm for nurturing musical talent.
Throughout college, Anita immersed herself in piano pedagogy courses, exploring diverse teaching methodologies and honing her skills through ensemble performances and accompaniments. These experiences not only enriched her understanding of musical instruction but also fuelled her desire to share the joy of music making with others.
After graduating, Anita embarked on a career teaching both general music and private piano lessons across Hong Kong, the United States, and Canada, working with students of all ages and backgrounds. Her dedication to continuous learning and growth in piano pedagogy led her to successfully complete the Intermediate and Elementary Piano Specialist Training and Designations from the RCM, further enhancing her expertise and proficiency in the art of piano teaching.
Anita strongly believes that every child can learn music, and she is there to help children discover and appreciate the profound joy that music brings. When Anita is not teaching, she enjoys spending time with her husband, her two children, and their puppy named Griffin!
