With 15 years of teaching experience in Australia and Europe, Raymond has helped students achieve success in exams and auditions.
As a pianist, he has performed in concerts, broadcasts, and festivals around the world—Australia, Finland, the Netherlands, the UK, Italy, Greece, Germany, and France.
Raymond has been the recipient of many prestigious grants and scholarships, including an Australian Government Research Training Program that enabled him to complete a PhD at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music.
He was a grand-finalist at the 2022 Australian National Piano Award, where he was awarded the Max Cooke Encouragement Award.
Having spent time training with renowned concert artists such as Cristina Ortiz and Carlo Grante, Raymond sees the piano as an instrument for continual learning and growth and seeks to share this passion with all his students.

After achieving success with his previous music school "Aalto School of Music", Raymond moved to Oxford, UK in 2021 where he devoted time and efforts towards his doctoral research—performing and presenting at conferences in London (Royal Academy of Music, City University) and Europe.

Aalto Piano Studio represents the continuation and culmination of all of Raymond's experiences as a pianist-performer, scholar, and teacher.
