Jacelyn
Founder and Program Creator
Since 2010, Jacelyn noticed that music education in Malaysia was too rigid. Most schools used full score method books with no chord sheets, no improvisation, and very few games, stories, or off bench activities.
To change that, she started PPM Academy with a mission to train more flexible and creative music teachers who can teach students to improvise and play by ear.
With her LCM diploma in Early Childhood Music Education, and support from Singapore’s Play by Ear Music School and Victoria College of Music (London), Jacelyn and her PPM team developed a unique and fun Syllabus.
Today, they guide students, parents, and teachers to enjoy piano, band, and group music classes in a more meaningful, expressive way.
Now that the syllabus is fully developed, Jacelyn is excited to share it with others, so more people can enjoy making music with chord sheets, in a band, or just having fun jamming together.
