Education/Outreach
Outside his busy performance schedule and creative commitments, Lance devotes time to sharing his artistic passion with aspiring musicians and the wider community in the following roles he takes up in education and outreach work.
ABRSM Examiner
Lance was appointed in 2023 as an examiner for the ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music), the UK's largest music education body and world-renowned music exam board, and has been assessing both face-to-face and online exams of all instruments and singing across the UK and internationally for the exam board since then, nurturing the future of music.
Charity Work
Over the years, Lance has regularly performed for various charities in support of their causes, bringing music to the community. These include Live Music Now (2024–25), Royal London Hospital (2023–), Mathieson Music Trust (2021–22), Hospices of Hope (2019–20), and I・care Programme (2016).
Private Teacher/Coach
Lance offers private lessons and coaching sessions to learners ranging from young beginners to music graduates and performing musicians in subjects listed in the following. Lessons are conducted in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin Chinese at the learners' own choice. Please get in touch for further enquiries.
Piano Performance
Lance accepts learners upon successful audition in an initial consultation lesson. All piano learners will be required to take compulsory modules in music theory and aural training relevant to their levels. Regular face-to-face lessons are offered on Lance's grand piano at his residence in London, while consultation lessons are offered internationally, depending on his touring schedule, and online via Zoom.
Composition
Lessons are provided either as regular online lessons via Zoom, where learners have the opportunity to discuss in-depth artistic ideas and obtain more focused mentorship on their creative processes, or as on-demand reviews of their compositions via email, suitable for composers requiring feedback specific to their works-in-progress.
Repertoire Coaching for Singers
Coaching sessions are offered to classical singers to seek advice on, prepare, and rehearse concert and audition programmes. Regular face-to-face sessions are offered at Lance's residence in London, while individual sessions are available internationally, depending on Lance's touring schedule, or online via Zoom. Lance is fluent in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin Chinese, and has professional working proficiency in French, German, and Italian.
Music Theory
The range of offered courses starts from the preparation of the ABRSM Grade 5 theory exam to advanced university-level modules covering counterpoint, harmony, post-tonal techniques, materials and structure, and advanced musical analysis. Lessons are conducted online via Zoom.
Aural Training
Courses are available for music learners of all levels, from beginners to professionals, and of all instruments or voices. Most initial and intermediate-level training is geared towards practical grade exam requirements, and those for advanced learners and professional musicians are more flexible, catering to their individual needs. Training sessions take place face-to-face at Lance's residence in London or online via Zoom.
