4About Me
I am a violinist, music producer, composer and arranger. I started learning the violin in 2011 and I have since made significant progress in my musicality with over 13 years of training and leadership roles as Concertmaster in school orchestras. I have been composing since 2021 and specialise in the Classical genre while also working on other, more modern genres of music.
I have written and arranged multiple musical pieces for various instruments, numerous of which are on platforms like IMSLP and MuseScore. I also oversee creative work in my own music and multimedia community known as Evans Chou Studios, leading a team in music production, content creation and event planning, increasing community engagement. In this community, I have worked with other musicians to deliver multiple festive events, attracting audiences of up to 100 participants.
My teaching style
My teaching approach is structured yet flexible, emphasising both technical accuracy and stylistic interpretation. I focus on helping students develop a strong foundation while encouraging independent musical thinking, particularly in phrasing, articulation, and historical context.
My past experience
Teacher’s assistant at the Glasgow Chinese School since 2023.
Conertmaster (leader) of the East Dunbartonshire Council Senior String and Symphony Orchestras from 2022-2024.
Section leader of the school String Orchestra in Wa Ying College, Hong Kong from 2020-2021.
Conertmaster (leader) of the school orchestra in Farm Road Government Primary School, Hong Kong from 2016-2018.
