Music Education at EdUHK Tam Sheung Pan shares his experience of studying at EdUHK and how it has brought him both passion and inspiration. Under the bright sunshine, a little bird took flight into the sky. I have already been studying for 4 years at EdUHK and now want to share my experience with others. Studying at the Education University of Hong Kong has been a great experience and I've been fortunate enough to be taught by some great teachers. The experience has provided me with a lot of opportunities and has let me soar with my own strength. The teachers not only gave me knowledge but also give me guidance with important life decisions. Above all, they are genuine and kind and I am extremely grateful to have met them. I am very thankful and lucky to have had a chance to study my lifelong passion – Music. As a music major, I particularly enjoy every chance I get to perform with my friends. I have been performing for 4 years and every time I sing “In Praise of Teachers”, it touches me. Music is the fruit of life and it enriches my life and my studies. Studying music with like-minded people is the best thing that ever happened to me. They are my teammates, my inspiration and my companions. The teachers here have equipped me to be a passionate teacher myself and most importantly, a better person. Learning to be a teacher is not easy and I see the passion in what they do which has encouraged me to become a determined and inspiring music teacher in the future. Singing with our voices, playing music with our hearts, using our own life passions to influence and impact future generations - this is our job. ISSUE 06: JULY 2016 As I will be leaving soon, I hope to contribute and give back to my beloved teachers. So here is a message for them: Education is a life-long career and I promise you will see me soar one day. Tam Sheung Pan is a graduate of 4-year BEd (Music) and loves to sing and share music. 09
