You Play A What?

In this episode of YPAW I spoke with Singapore Chinese Orchestra's 阮 (Ruan) musician, Koh Min Hui. One would argue that Min Hui's career trajectory is as smooth as it can be, winning her job with the orchestra at the age of 21, straight out of her Bachelors degree course at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. Apart from her work with the orchestra, Min Hui is also a passionate teacher that works with students of various age groups and is a tutor for the Singapore National Youth Chinese Orchestra.

We spoke about:
1. Some of the non-music related skillset required for one to survive a job in the orchestra
2. Her thoughts and observation regarding suffering from burnout as a professional musician
3. The advice she will give to a student looking to pursue a career in music
4. What it means to be part of a generation of exception Chinese Music Instrumentalist
