Irene came to New Zealand in 1991. For the first eight years she taught Japanese language at St Mary’s College as well as teaching modern music at Technics Music Academy in Wellington. However, Irene’s first love is music, and she strongly believes that whatever experience is gained in music should be put back into music. Therefore in 2001 she started her own music business: 'World Music Academy' in Wellington, NZ. World Music Academy provided a recognized platform for aspiring performers - several winners and runners-up in song quests have passed through the Academy and hopefully will go on to professional careers in music.

After moving to Australia Irene continues to offer the highest quality music instruction and performance opportunities for students of all ages through live and online lessons. By exploring Fantastic Music website, you will get a sense of the many activities and initiatives.
