One-to-one violin, viola and piano lessons in Singapore, with 陆老师.
Opens the banner full size in a new tab.
Three words on every lesson I teach, whether the instrument is a violin, a viola or a piano.
One-to-one violin teaching built around posture, tone and reading. Those are the three things that decide whether a student keeps playing. Lessons move at the pace of the person in front of me, not a syllabus timetable.
The violin's deeper voice: a larger instrument, tuned a fifth lower and read mostly in alto clef. Same set-up-first teaching, with extra time on the clef and the heavier bow arm. Violinists moving across and first-time players both welcome.
Hand shape, reading both clefs and steady time, built one hand at a time before the two are put together. Young beginners and adults starting from scratch both begin here.
Thank you for your kind words and trust. It’s my joy to be part of your music journey.
nice instructor, he’s very fun and patient. He can teach from basic to advanced level. I’ve been learning with him for months and my posture has improved a lot.
I went for a trial violin lesson and had a great experience! The instructor was very friendly and made me feel at ease even though I was a beginner. Highly recommend!
It was a pleasure being a student of you. Even though you were teaching me for a while, you still taught me a lot of valuable things. Hope too see you on the Asia got talent!
I just wanted to thank you for the 4 lessons we had before I left!! Even though it wasn’t a lot of time, I still learnt many things from you and improved lots! Thank you for the laughs and advice during lesson. Won’t forget youu!!
Learning music as a child can be valuable even if the child never becomes a professional musician. The biggest benefits come from the combination of listening, movement, memory, coordination, practice, and expression.
Reading music, remembering patterns, and listening carefully exercise concentration and working memory.
Instruments such as violin and piano require the eyes, ears, hands, and fingers to work together. Violin also develops fine control of posture, bowing, and intonation.
Regular practice teaches children that improvement comes gradually through repetition, feedback, and correcting mistakes.
Children learn to notice rhythm, pitch, dynamics, timing, and small differences in sound.
A difficult passage may take many attempts. Music gives children a relatively safe way to experience frustration, work through it, and eventually succeed.
Playing a piece well—or performing for another person—can give a child a strong sense of accomplishment and another way to express emotions.
Ensembles, orchestras, bands, and duets teach children to listen to others, keep time together, take turns, and contribute to a group.
Improvising, composing, and interpreting music encourage children to make artistic choices rather than simply find one “correct” answer.
There is no rotating bench of tutors here. You learn with 陆老师, the same teacher every week, who remembers what you were working on last time and what you found hard.
That is the whole reason the three instruments sit under one name. The instrument changes; how someone is taught to improve does not.
More about 陆老师Five things I am always watching for in a lesson, whether you are holding a bow or sitting at the keys.
The two bars we repeat until the shift finally lands. Precision is not strictness. It is knowing exactly which small thing to fix next, and fixing only that one.
