Meet our People
At The Wind Academia (TWA), our educators bring more than just technical skill—they offer rich ensemble experience, leadership in performance, and a shared passion for community-driven music.
Led by Music Director Louis Yeo and Conductor Yeo Jie Yuan, both of whom hold Master’s degrees in Music Education and Music Leadership, our team guides learners toward performance readiness through collaboration, not just solo drills.
Unlike traditional schools that focus on individual lessons and exam prep, TWA invites you into a musical journey that’s communal, expressive, and stage-centered.
With us, you don’t just learn music — you live it, share it, and perform it together.
