Harmonising Passion and Challenges – The Inception of Silversnow Music School
Gresilda Tan, the visionary founder of Silversnow Music School, embarked on a musical journey at the young age of 24, driven by her passion for both music and education. Armed with determination, she faced a trifecta of challenges – limited capital, scepticism about her experience, and the daunting task of building a reputation from scratch.
To combat perceptions and bolster credibility, Gresilda took strategic steps, registering Silversnow under the Ministry of Education and securing both MOE and AMIS certifications. Fortunately, meeting the stringent requirements was a smooth process, solidifying the school’s commitment to quality education.
The year 2020 presented an unexpected hurdle with the onset of the pandemic, leading to the closure of physical enrichment centers. Silversnow swiftly adapted by transitioning to online lessons, a move that proved effective for older students. Acknowledging the challenges faced by younger students, the school implemented a flexible approach, allowing them to pause lessons. During the hiatus, creative initiatives, including a practice video competition, ensured that the musical spirit remained vibrant despite the distance.
In the face of adversity, Silversnow Music School not only overcame initial challenges but also demonstrated resilience, underscoring its commitment to nurturing musical talent even in the most trying circumstances.
