About

My name is Pangfun, and I was born and raised in a musician/artist family. From my earliest memories, I was surrounded by a variety of instruments—piano, violin, guitar, drums, wind instruments, and traditional Thai instruments. Under my father’s guidance, I began learning these instruments at an early age.

This early immersion fostered my passion for music, eventually leading me to earn a full scholarship to the prestigious College of Music at Mahidol University, Thailand’s top music conservatory, at the age of 16, where I refined my skills and deepened my understanding of music education.

With over 20 years of teaching experience, I have had the privilege of instructing students of all ages and skill levels, from young beginners to advanced musicians. In 2010, I established my private music studio, welcoming students from diverse backgrounds, including the U.S., France, the Netherlands, China, South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, and Thailand.

This multicultural teaching experience has been invaluable, allowing me to develop a flexible teaching style that bridges cultural differences and accommodates various learning preferences. I’ve become adept at recognizing how cultural background can influence a student’s approach to music and adjusting my communication style accordingly—whether explaining concepts to a young child, working with a teenager preparing for a competitive environment, or helping an adult rediscover their love for music.

I understand that each student approaches music with different goals—whether for personal enjoyment, competition preparation, performance opportunities, or formal examinations. I create personalized learning plans and adapt my teaching methods to help each student achieve their specific objectives. My approach develops well-rounded musicians who understand not just how to play songs, but also proper technique, music theory, musicality, and ear training. This comprehensive approach has helped my students consistently win competitions and achieve high distinctions in Trinity College London and ABRSM music examinations.

In 2020, I brought my wealth of experience and passion to Fairfax, Virginia, where I continue my dedication to inspiring students to develop their musical abilities and reach their full potential.
