Jovita has been bringing her unique instructional style and her love for the piano to this area since 1990. Born in Malaysia into a large musical family, Jovita was the first in her family to formally study music and the piano. She largely credits her family’s love for the arts as her inspiration to grow, create and succeed in her chosen career. With an education in music, finance and management science Jovita has incorporated this unique blend of her arts and science education into the creation of The Academy of Music in 1990 and evolving it into what is now the Academy of Performing & Creative Arts (APCA) in 2007. Today Jovita has added to her plate arranging, composing and creating and producing live and pre-recorded musical events ranging from small intimate shows to full stage productions but has not lost sight of her first love-the piano and continues to share her skills and talents with her students.
