IV. Work Philosophy

Compose musicals for children. Broaden the vision of arts through the concept of innovated art learning. Provide an environment for children to learn and grow happily in musical courses in which music and various performing activities are combined. The value of art education lies not in the number of awards the children win but in whether or not they enjoy art as part of their lives. While composing and teaching musicals, I expect that theater works will help empower the youth with character building. It is also hoped that both the performers and audience can learn more about Taiwan’s arts, culture and heritage and learn to love them so profoundly that they go hand in hand in realizing wonderful dreams of art for their homeland.
