MEET OUR INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC TEACHERS:
KHUN VICHIT TEERAWONGWIWAT Khun Vichit Teerawongwiwat (Khun Yeah) has been playing the flute for 37 years. He performs professionally with the Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra, Mahidol University Salaya. They play two different concerts every month, with many guest conductors and soloists. Khun Yeah is the founder of the Million Wind Philharmonic, and won first prize in the Thailand International Wind Symphony Competition, 2019. "When I was young, my dad encouraged me to join the school band. The school band was quite challenging and our band practised everyday after school. After a few years, my musicianship and skill developed and I was now able to play many songs; that made me really enjoy playing the flute. When I was in school, my teacher showed me videos of orchestral music. The flute regularly played beautiful melodies and that made me dream about playing in an orchestra. I was diligent in my practice and at 18 years old, I was successful in my audition securing the flute position playing with the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra. I was a founding member of the Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra and have played with them for the past 17 years" Click to watch Khun Yeah's piccolo performance here!
"I love to see my students grow and develop as musicians; growing as a musician who has never played the flute before, improving each week until they can perform on stage and can successfully take the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music graded exams."
