Previous appointments include visiting professor of music history at St. Olaf College, associate carillonist at UC Berkeley, and instructor of carillon at the University of Rochester.
Dr. Ng holds degrees in carillon, organ, musicology, new media, and English from the Royal Carillon School “Jef Denyn,” UC Berkeley, the Eastman School of Music, and Yale University. Her former teachers include Geert D’hollander, William Porter, and Joris Verdin.
