Hello hello! I’m Teoh Cherylyn – a music teacher who just have a lot of passion for many things in music.

I am an experienced school music teacher of more than 10 years. I am currently working for my fourth international school in Malaysia. I used to teach the KS1 and KS2 general music classroom. Now, I am focused on teaching KS3 music and have responsibilities in school administrative work. You will find some articles and resources in music education here. I enjoy sharing about Malaysian music in my classroom and a small part of my website has some resources in this area. I used to freelance in piano teaching, so you will find some articles on piano education as well.

I started my personal brand, Cherthemusic to offer coaching to music teachers worldwide. It came about due to my experiences in using technology in music lessons. Eventually, I started my own online community called, Music Teachers Meet Technology (MTMT) in year 2020 due to the pandemic. It has since been defunct in year 2022 as I could no longer run an online community while working full time.

I used to have an online course for using Musescore called Mastering Music Notation Software. It is a free music notation software and it gives music teachers a good head start on creating their own lesson materials.

I’m also a small time music arranger and music transcriber. I used to do lots of piano covers when I was a teenager and this cultivated interest helped me discover music arranging when I studied at university. I have since learned to arrange for orchestra to big bands, small bands and ensemble. I’m more focused on arranging piano solos. I do also arrange praise and worship music as I am a music director and pianist at my local church.

I was active on Fiverr doing all sorts of gigs related to music which included academic analysis, music arrangement, composition, transcription and production. I learned a lot from doing the gigs on this platform and I would encourage anyone to give it a try.

Currently, I am focused on my full time job and whenever possible, work on improving this website.

Times are changing and so are our students. Hence, I also make it a point to learn things outside of my field like social media marketing and general management. Feel free to contact me for any work or freelance opportunities.

P.S. I’m very active on Instagram, do DM me to say hi! You can find me elsewhere here.
