🎶 罗睿琹（Loh Rui Qin）的音乐成长之路 🎶

睿琹从小学三年级开始接触乌克丽丽，最初跟随 Brenda Lee Brenda老师学习。Brenda老师不仅是她的启蒙老师，更是在她音乐旅程中播下第一颗种子的引路人。

2020年，疫情来袭，MCO期间所有课程转为线上学习。那段时间，睿琹开始跟随我（Thiam老师）透过网课继续学习音乐。两年的线上课程中，我慢慢发现她拥有不错的音乐感和学习能力，对节奏、旋律和乐器掌控都有着超越同龄孩子的潜力。

随着成长进入中学阶段，我建议她从乌克丽丽升级学习Acoustic Guitar，并安排她开始挑战Rockschool考级，顺利完成了Grade 1的学习与考试。

疫情结束后，睿琹为了更方便持续学习，选择跟随家附近的William Kok老师继续深造吉他。很开心看到她在William老师的指导下，指弹技巧获得了爆发式成长，无论是音色控制、演奏技巧还是音乐表现力，都有了令人惊喜的进步。

在2025年的Rockschool考试中，William老师大胆地为她安排直接挑战Grade 5。面对如此大的跨越，睿琹没有辜负老师的期望，以 Merit 88% 的优异成绩顺利通过考试

Brenda老师和William老师都是我的好朋友，也是非常优秀的音乐教育者。学生无论跟随哪位老师学习，都能获得专业且用心的指导。

🎶 The Musical Journey of Loh Rui Qin 🎶

Rui Qin began her musical journey in Primary 3 when she first started learning the ukulele under the guidance of Brenda. As her first music teacher, Brenda played an important role in nurturing her interest in music and laying a strong foundation for her future growth.

In 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic and MCO restrictions changed the way we learned, Rui Qin continued her lessons online with me, Thiam. Throughout those two years of online learning, I gradually discovered that she possessed a natural musical talent. Her sense of rhythm, musical understanding, and dedication showed great potential beyond her age.

As she progressed into secondary school, I felt she was ready for a new challenge and encouraged her to move from ukulele to acoustic guitar.

After the pandemic, Rui Qin continued her guitar studies with William Kok, a teacher located closer to her home. Under William's guidance, her fingerstyle guitar skills developed tremendously. Her technique, musical expression, and overall musicianship grew rapidly, reflecting both her hard work and the quality guidance she received.

In the 2025 Rockschool examination, William confidently encouraged her to take a big leap forward by attempting Grade 5 directly. Rising to the challenge, Rui Qin exceeded expectations and achieved an impressive Merit score of 88%

Both Brenda and William are not only my good friends but also excellent music educators. No matter which teacher a student learns from, they will be guided with professionalism, dedication, and heart.
#音乐教育从来不应该是竞争的

🎉Thiam Guitar Academy

Wee Jian Yee（黄建謁）的性格一直比较内向。早在2022年，他还是小学生的时候，已经跟随 Thiam 老师学习乌克丽丽两年，打下了不错的音乐基础。
进入中学后，Thiam 老师发现他在弹拨乐器方面很有潜能，于是鼓励他尝试升级学习电吉他。刚开始时，建謁有些担心自己学不来，而且电吉他的乐器与器材费用也不低。为了让他能够安心尝试，Thiam 老师特别借给他一把普通电吉他带回家练习两个月。没想到，就是这两个月，让他的潜能彻底爆发！🔥

老师也带着他到不同场地演出，包括知名音乐商店 Swee Lee 以及 Rockfest 舞台，让他累积了宝贵的现场表演经验。
如今的建謁已经深深爱上电吉他，并将在今年挑战 RSL Electric Guitar Grade 4 考级！

另外偷偷分享一个小秘密：
Thiam Guitar 目前严重「阴盛阳衰」😂
女生学员占了 80%，男生们要不要赶快来支援一下呢？ 🤭

Wee Jian Yee has always been a rather quiet and introverted student. Back in 2022, when he was still in primary school, he had already spent two years learning ukulele with Teacher Thiam, building a solid musical foundation.

After entering secondary school, Teacher Thiam noticed his strong potential and encouraged him to take the next step into electric guitar. At first, Jian Yee was worried that he might not be able to cope with the challenges, and electric guitar equipment can be quite expensive as well.

To help him get started, Teacher Thiam generously lent him a basic electric guitar to practice at home for two months.What happened next was amazing — his talent truly exploded! 🔥

Teacher Thiam brought him to perform at various venues, including the renowned Swee Lee music store and the Rockfest stage, giving him valuable live performance experience.

Because of these opportunities, Jian Yee developed a deep passion for electric guitar. This year, he is preparing to take the RSL Electric Guitar Grade 4 examination!

And here's a fun fact about Thiam Guitar
Our academy is currently dominated by girls — they make up about 80% of our students! 😂
Guys, it's time to balance the numbers a little! 🤭🎶

Thiamguitar 我们两夫妻创业故事（七）｜连载中…

SJKC Thai Tung 大同华小到了第二年，也就是 2019 年，学生人数渐渐增加了。由于当时经验还不足，Thiam老师开始觉得需要助教一起帮忙教学。
后来在朋友介绍下，我认识了 Sean 老师（VS Lee）。他年轻有为，也是一位非常尽责的老师。学生们都很喜欢他的教学方式，他总是很有耐心，也很认真对待每一位学生。
那时候，我还打算未来能和他一起合作，把我们的教学事业做得更好、更长远。
但后来却不幸听到，他被诊断患上癌症末期，并且在 2022 年离开了😭。那时候的他还很年轻，甚至比我小10岁。
这件事让我深深体会到，人生真的很无常。很多事情，如果现在不去做，以后可能就再也没有机会了。

也因为这样，我更加坚定要继续做好自己的事业，继续坚持自己热爱的音乐教育，让自己活得快乐，也希望把快乐带给更多学生。❤️

Thiamguitar Our Entrepreneur Journey (7)｜To Be Continued…

By the second year at SJKC Thai Tung in 2019, the number of students gradually increased. Since Teacher Thiam was still lacking experience at that time, I realized I needed an assistant teacher to help with the classes.
Through a friend’s introduction, I got to know Teacher Sean (VS Lee). He was young, talented, and a very dedicated teacher. The students truly enjoyed his teaching style because he was always patient and sincere with every student.
At that time, I even planned to work together with him in the future to grow our music education into something bigger and long-lasting.
Unfortunately, later on, I received the heartbreaking news that he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. He sadly passed away in 2022😭. He was still very young — even 10 years younger than me.
This experience made me deeply realize how unpredictable life can be. If we don’t pursue the things we truly want to do now, we may lose the chance forever.

Because of that, I became even more determined to continue building my music事业, to keep doing what I truly love, and to bring happiness through music education to more students. ❤️

Thiamguitar 我们两夫妻创业故事（六）｜连载中…
后来我慢慢发现，我的性格其实很适合教导儿童，于是开始计划专注于小学生教学。而当时我的太太 Kary Eu，也非常努力地主动联络 KL 一带超过10间 SKJC 华小，希望能争取机会让我进入校园教授乌克丽丽。
后来运气很好，我们得到了大同华小副校长的回复。就这样，我们从 2018 年开始进入第一家华小教学乌克丽丽。刚开始时，只有 6 位学生。
那段时间，我太太一直鼓励我：“只要你用心栽培他们，一定会得到校方和家长的认同。”
果然，慢慢到了第二年，也就是 2019 年，学生人数开始渐渐增加。看到学生们的成长，还有家长与学校的支持，真的让我们更加坚定继续走下去...

Thiamguitar Our Entrepreneur Journey (6)｜To Be Continued…
Later on, I slowly realized that my personality was actually very suitable for teaching children. That was when I decided to focus more on teaching primary school students.
At the same time, my wife, Kary Eu, worked very hard to proactively contact more than 10 Chinese primary schools (SKJC) around KL, hoping to create an opportunity for me to enter schools and teach ukulele.
Fortunately, we received a reply from the vice principal of SJKC Tai Thong. In 2018, we officially started teaching ukulele at our very first Chinese primary school. At the beginning, we only had 6 students.
During that period, my wife kept encouraging me:
“As long as you sincerely nurture the students, the school and parents will eventually recognize your efforts.”
And indeed, by the second year in 2019, the number of students gradually increased. Seeing the students grow, together with the support from parents and the school, truly gave us the motivation to keep moving forward..

这里是 MoPac。
地点位于 Petaling Jaya（PJ区），场地以暗色系工业风格打造，充满个性与氛围感。新年期间第一次来到这里参观时，就立刻被它独特的 Style 深深吸引，也因此毫不犹豫地决定，将这里选为 2026 本院《Thiam Guitar Awards Ceremony》颁奖典礼的举办场地。

同时，也想特别介绍 MoPac 场地负责人 —— 阿 Bot。
他是一位全职音乐人，擅长唱歌、吉他、鼓、贝斯、词曲创作、编曲、录音制作以及音响工程，可说是一位全方位音乐工作者。

其实，Bot 是Thiam老师年轻时期玩乐团时认识的 Band 友。
当年他的地下乐团《乌风铃》在圈内相当火爆，还曾发行属于自己的乐团专辑。Bot 当时身兼主唱与吉他手，更负责了乐团大部分的词曲创作。

如今，我们都各自拥有了自己的家庭与事业，也在不同的音乐领域、用不同的方式继续热爱音乐...

This is MoPac.
Located in Petaling Jaya (PJ area), the venue carries a unique dark-themed industrial aesthetic filled with character and atmosphere. I first visited the place shortly after Chinese New Year and immediately fell in love with its style. Without hesitation, I decided to make it the official venue for the 2026 Thiam Guitar Awards Ceremony.

At the same time, I would also like to introduce the person in charge of MoPac — Bot.
He is a full-time musician who specializes in singing, guitar, drums, bass, songwriting, arranging, recording production, and sound engineering — truly an all-rounded music creator.

Bot was actually one of the bandmates Teacher Thiam knew back in the younger days of playing in bands.
His underground band, “Wu Feng Ling,” was once very popular within the local underground music scene and even released their own album. Back then, Bot was the lead vocalist and guitarist, while also handling most of the band’s songwriting and compositions.

Today, we each have our own families and careers, yet we continue to stay connected through music...
