The Music Studio

We offer a variety of one-to-one classes in singing/vocals (Rock & Pop/Musical Theatre/Classical), piano/keyboards, guitar, and drums . Students can opt to take Trinity College London examinations that are held twice yearly.

We also offer a specialised Introduction to Music class for our younger students aged 3+ years. This class is a child’s first step into the world of music. Through play and song, students will be introduced to music fundamentals, while nurturing an early admiration to it. Such activities include playing through rhythm, music appreciation, instrumentation, and sing-alongs, all tailored for their age. Body movement is incorporated in every activity, which will ensure that every lesson will be fun and full of energy, while aiding their understanding of every activity. These lessons are aimed to instill a love for music at a young age, while learning musical concepts which will improve every child’s creative and artistic side.
