Description:
SEED Music Academy opened its doors in 2019 with the single aim of helping children achieve their musical development and learning potential during the crucial growth years. Our music academy is located at the heart of Hong Kong Island. We currently have 50 piano students, 60 string students, 20 early childhood children with 12 faculty on board. We are now seeking for a Full Time Suzuki Cello Teacher to grow our cello studio.
Our Music Program includes an early childhood program (1-3-year-old), pre-instrumental program (3-4-year-old), and a well-rounded Suzuki Piano, Violin, Cello program starting at the age of 4. We have recitals and outreaching activities throughout the year.
Hong Kong is known as “a kaleidoscope of life, a sophisticated fusion of East and West, a city of diversity where new and old meet at every turn”. Underneath the glass and steel of Hong Kong’s commercial persona is a dynamic cultural landscape where its Chinese roots, colonial connections and the contributions of its home-grown talent become intertwined. Here you’re just as likely to find yourself dissecting art in the dizzying number of contemporary galleries as joining in dawn Taichi or reading the couplets of a local poet to the drumbeat of a dragon boat. Culture could also mean indie music by the harbor or Chinese opera in a bamboo theatre, not to mention the thousands of shows staged year-round at the city’s many museums and concert halls. If you like a vibrant life, Hong Kong is your city! (Quote from Hong Kong Tourism Board & Insight guides)
