#tbt my background in percussion started during my school band days when I marched mostly as a tenor and later on in a percussion chamber ensemble where we did quite a bit of classical/modern repertoire. Both I don't ever get to do now. 😢🤷🏻‍♀️ Lucky for me I still get to play and do many other NEW things which I love. Taking a moment here to appreciate the evolution and change life brings. 🖤 (don't ask this picture how old cos I don't remember! I think taken by @brozm 🤣)

Haven't forgotten my first love amidst this drumkit craziness. I'm sitting on the new(ish) bass cajon, beside it: the Varios cajons and supporting half my weight is the gorgeous Primera looking au naturel! 😏😘 👉🏻 Thank you @yamahamusic.sg for having me at the very first Live Sessions event a while back. It was such a roaring success I can't wait for the next installment. 📸: Thank you for this pretty pic Andre!

Totally missing out on updates here as this new kit-playing me has consumed my life. Besides keeping up with my hand percussion practice, most of my time is spent honing this new skill and it has brought me so much joy! It's the small little things in learning and growing that really enriches subconsciously. 👉🏻💡 I want to share these with you guys: 1. I find that my practice journal helps tremendously. Planning out what I need to do ahead of time takes away almost all practice inertia cos you leave no room for doubts and hence procrastination (98% of the time 😅). 2. Do 1 or 2 technique things daily (or as frequent as your sessions) for just 2-5 mins – this consistency brings benefits exponentially in ways you don't see. And also cos the time allocated is so short, it reduces tons of inertia too. Use them as warmups so you have no excuse to *not* do them. 🙌🏻 I have started these habits with all my students because the positive results I see still amazes me every single time. 🖤 That's all, thank you WW @bryantaydotcom for capturing my joy here. xx

It's Monday! Here's a picture of the Monday #solove acoustic trio you need to get behind at @switch_timbrex. xx 📸: @lousycameraman @thewhitedojo

Trying to make sense of this speeding train that is 2019. How is it September already?! I can't decide which I like better so here's both versions of me having a 🧠ache and 🦷ache. Thank you @lousycameraman for the snaps! 👊🏻
