Recap April – Event Highlights
Moments from Vocals Masterclass ft. Ai Iwasaki
It was a pleasure for us to host Maestra Ai Iwasaki, a distinguished mezzo-soprano and opera expert, for a special vocals masterclass at our BKK campus on 27th April 2025.
With extensive international performance experience, including the first full-scale opera performance in Cambodia, Maestra Ai shared invaluable insights on classical singing and vocal techniques. She guided our students in exploring their voices and improving their stage presence.
Her deep expertise and passion for opera left a lasting impact, inspiring our students and enhancing their understanding of vocal performance.

The electronic music workshop with the talented sound designer and DJ, Cécile Hinas, last Sunday, 27th April, was a success.
Students had the opportunity to dive into the world of music production and collaborate in creating the official Soundskool Anthem.
A big thank you to Ms. Cécile for leading an insightful and engaging session and to all the students who participated.
