What students are saying:
Anna was one of the most engaging and encouraging tutors I've had for piano, her ability to not only ensure you understand the theory but also be able to see it in action using real-life examples is amazing.
Her enthusiasm and passion for anything music also comes through in all lessons; with serious dedication going towards preparing lesson materials and helping you understand them. If I didn't understand a certain concept or how to play a certain passage, Anna was always able to break it down into manageable chunks, and my playing and understanding of music improved tremendously under her.
One thing I especially enjoyed was that she would always incorporate relatability e.g. teaching concepts using songs I liked or sharing fun music facts that made lessons very memorable.

FAQs
🔸Why should I learn from you instead of someone else?🔸
No... we're not going to be able to make miracles happen for your guitar journey but what I can promise you are these few things if you choose to work with me:
1. A personalised set of practice routines that is a much faster way to progress than wasting your time looking up a million YouTube videos that teach similar things that you already knew.
2. Instantly correct (almost) all of your bad playing habits (be it new or seasoned players) that might've been stopping your growth for the longest time, WITHOUT YOU EVEN REALISING THEM!
3. A chill and relaxed environment to learn, make mistakes, progress and HAVE FUN!
We've seen far too many teachers that are either way too strict, or way too relaxed when teaching students. For me, I hope to strike a balance between these 2 spectrums and provide YOU with a structured routine that you can be determined with, but at the same time, have fun with!
🔸 How is the lesson being conducted? 🔸
The standard style will be a 1-hour 1-1 private coaching lesson! However, upon request, we're also flexible to teach at shorter and longer durations namely; 30min, 45min, 60min, 90min.
If you'd like to bring a friend along, there will be discounted rates as well!
🔸 Where is it held? 🔸
Piano lessons will be held at our work studio at 18 Sin Ming Ln, Midview City, Singapore 573960!
🔸 Will Piano be provided? 🔸
Yes! Piano/keyboard will be provided!
🔸 How long would it take for me to see progress?🔸
Give yourself at least 6 weeks! Whether you're a new or a seasoned player, I'm sure that you'll see great progress in 6 weeks! (provided that you also put in the hard work in the exercises too!)
🔸 What's the minimum age that you can teach?🔸
Anywhere from 10 years old and above! Piano lessons can be adapted to suit children's developmental needs, and we're happy to work with young students.
